The Case for Family Worship (Book/ Hardcover)

Product Overview

Two missing elements in Christian families today are parents catechizing their children and the absence of family worship as a normal part of the daily routine. Puritan George Hamond shows the biblical pattern for family worship with examples from the Old Testament—Abraham, Job, and Joshua—and then that of Christ and Cornelius from the New Testament. This is an important book for those who want to establish the centrality of worship in their homes.

George Hamond (1620-1705) began his education at Trinity College in Dublin and completed it at Oxford. He was for a while minister at Totness in Devon, and later minister to a large congregation of dissenters at Taunton, in conjunction with George Newton. He was a strong and able opponent of Romanism, and worked diligently at equipping his flock to combat those false doctrines. He later moved to London, where he co-pastored with Richard Steele. He died in October of 1705. This book on family worship and his funeral sermon for his close friend Richard Steele are the only two works he saw published. No portrait of him is known to exist.
