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

I love this book, but for some reason, the pages of this book are cheap and nasty. The one I purchased from another company were nice pages and you could easily open the book. These were wrinkled at the binding, the paper was thicker and rough. It was rather annoying as I had it as a gift for someone, and it is just comparatively poor quality. Annoyingly I didn't think to get a photo before I gave it away!

I'd highly recommend this book. Ame across the author on Instagram and he's completely reframed my mindset to biblical parenting

Great

I read this book with my womens bible study. Such a great read. Actually helpful points and easily achievable suggestions to make parenting more successful. Christ centered and it doesn’t make you feel like a failure

Not sure whether anyone can relate to this…. was born and raised Catholic. Went to college (and read DaVinci Code) and fell away from faith. Had an identity crisis and found Jesus. Could not get wife to agree to go to Catholic church, so we settled on Methodist (contemporary service). Read the bible for the first time of my life, and realized it was way different than I expected… lots of beautiful stories that are all intertwined. Wanted more and more to be like Jesus but was not sure what that would look like from a practical perspective. Friend (studying to be a pastor) and I were having dinner one night, and he showed me The Common Rule. He said, what if we try this out with a few friends for a month to see how it goes. 2.5 years later, we are still meeting on Sunday evenings speaking to the grace we observe when practicing these habits. The nerdier of us downloaded an app to help keep track.With this as the background (i.e. super fans of the message), of course we pre-ordered Habits of the Household. Really love it b/c again it provides practical ways to share the message of Jesus with our son and as a family. The Common Rule really strengthened our marriage, and I see the Habits of the Household strengthening the family. For example, one way to strengthen the family is not to divide the family… seems obvious in writing it… this book provides a great methodology to avoid overreacting to disobedience. Another great section is around screen time. We are not as disciplined as the Earley’s, but we are getting better during dinner time… kids love fire… the candle really works.Anyway… to avoid too much rambling… cannot recommend buying this book and giving the habits a try. It is very well written. Humble and relatable. Promise if you give this a try for a month, you will become closer to Jesus and your family. That is 100% guaranteed.

Tolles Buch, sehr hilfreiche Tips, die den Alltag ändern können.

One of my favorite things about this book, is that at the end of every chapter the author lists other books, websites, and resources pertaining to the topic he discussed. This way if you're a parent really needing more help in one area than the other you can do a deeper dive. I also enjoyed the authors stories, but felt he got to the point quickly enough. It was an easy read for me and I often discussed what I read with my spouse.
