It is said that, at the beginning of his ministry, hardly one family to a street honored God in family worship; by the end of his ministry, there were streets on which every family upheld the practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn A Practical Theology of Family Worship, Jonathan Williams examines Baxter's context, the encouragements he gave for family worship, and his family-equipping ministry among the congregation. This study develops our understanding of this vital spiritual discipline among the Puritans. Yet it also draws out implications for family ministry in churches today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
