Today, homes often echo with distractions rather than devotion. Here, Benjamin Colman, the esteemed pastor of Boston's Brattle Street Church, delivers a Scriptural call to reclaim the "sacred hearth" as a sanctuary of faith. Drawing from various verses, such as Joshua 24:15-"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"-Colman unveils family worship as the divine command that binds generations, secures blessings, and wards off spiritual ruin.

This modernized edition of Colman's 1712 masterpiece revives his urgent plea: gather your household daily for prayer, Scripture, and praise. Through reasoned arguments, biblical examples from Adam to Cornelius, and practical rules-be frequent, fervent, and free from wrath-Colman shows how neglecting this duty invites God's curse, while embracing it nurtures souls, strengthens society, and honors the Creator, and Redeemer King Jesus.

Whether you're a parent seeking to instill godly fear in your children or a believer aiming to fortify your home against worldly chaos, this volume equips you to lead with conviction. Discover why families that have devotions and pray together not only endure but thrive under heaven's favor. A must-read for every Christian household-transform your dwelling into a Bethel where God's presence dwells.
