Habits of the Household: Practicing the Story of God in Everyday Family Rhythms

Habits of the Household helps families see everyday routines as opportunities for Christian formation. Justin Whitmel Earley writes from the experience of family life and explains how wake-up time, meals, work, play, discipline, marriage, and bedtime can become places where the story of God is practiced rather than merely discussed.

The book avoids presenting an idealized or rigid household system. Instead, it offers small, repeatable habits that can be adapted to real schedules and imperfect families. Its focus on presence, prayer, reconciliation, and embodied routines makes it especially valuable for fathers who want to lead spiritually without turning family discipleship into another complicated program.
