Exploring the Bible Together: A 52-Week Family Worship Plan (David Murray)

A No-Prep Guide to Teach the Bible to Your Children

“David Murray has constructed a fabulous tool for family worship.”
—Donald S. Whitney, author, Family Worship; Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life

Kids love adventure. From building an imaginary fort in the backyard to searching for buried treasure, the anticipation of discovering the unknown fills them with excitement. David Murray presents a 52-week family worship plan that captures this excitement through brief and accessible daily devotions as families explore the Bible together.

“David Murray has constructed a fabulous tool for family worship. This is more than just a year’s worth of assigned daily Bible readings followed by additional material you read to your children (though that’s valuable). Exploring the Bible Together is interactive (thus ‘together’), for it also supplies questions about the Bible passage. Beyond that, there’s a question for younger children and a more thought-provoking one for older children. But wait—there’s more! Murray also summarizes the main point your children should take from the text and suggests a simple way to pray toward that end. And he’s done it all in a format that can be completed in just a few minutes. If you’re looking for a sound, simple, no-prep guide to teach the Bible to your children, you’ve found it.”
Donald S. Whitney, Professor of Biblical Spirituality and Associate Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life; Praying the Bible; and Family Worship

“Many Christian parents believe that family worship is important. But like many, my husband and I struggle to know where to begin. David Murray has given us a helpful resource for family worship that is not only age-appropriate and helpful, but something I look forward to learning from as well. This is a resource that both children and parents can benefit from, and I highly recommend it!”

“David Murray makes family worship simple and sweet. Here is a highly recommended, user-friendly guide to spending time in God’s word and in prayer with your family every day over the course of a year.”

“David Murray has simplified family devotions without sacrificing depth or quality. I’m so thankful for a resource that is realistic and relatable for both parents and children. Exploring the Bible Together equips parents to lead their children through the word of God, learning how to actively read and respond to Scripture. I can’t wait to use this book with my family!”
Winfree Brisley, Editor, Risen Motherhood; Contributor, The Gospel Coalition

“Nothing centers the Christian home upon Christ more than regular and consistent family worship. Though most of us know this truth, we find the practice challenging. Unfortunately, the challenge easily turns to frustration, frustration breeds disappointment, and eventually family worship is placed on the proverbial shelf. This experience is known all too well by all too many of us. David Murray’s Exploring the Bible Together provides an effective tool for encouraging family worship while minimizing its frustrations. It is simple, direct, equipping, and informative—just the tool needed to encourage regular and consistent family worship. Do you need help in family worship? Most of us do. Murray’s fifty-two-week plan serves as a wonderful resource. Use it, minister to your family’s soul, and center your home more readily upon Christ.”
