FOR FAMILIES:
Every family has habits and routines that mark day-to-day life. Habits play a significant part of our spiritual formation and that of our families. The book Habits of the Household, by Justin Whitney Earley, describes how we can rethink our habits around things like mealtimes, discipline, screen time, marriage, bedtime, and even waking. Instead of merely routines, the author invites us to see them as opportunities to live out the love of God. The book contains many practical yet profound suggestions and insights. The author writes in a gracious tone, as someone who is in the midst of parenting himself, emphasizing that our habits don’t change God’s love for us, but that God’s love for us should change our habits.
