This family devotional is designed to be an enjoyable, self-contained, non-complicated, and biblical experience for the whole family. With 52 lessons, you can meet once a week as a family for a year—to read, learn, and grow together in God’s truth and God’s design for your family. Each lesson has six parts: a scripture reading, a puzzle to solve together, discussion questions, a family challenge for the week, a short prayer to pray together, and a suggested scripture memory verse—with occasional parenting tips scattered “along the way.”

Is there anything more central to the experience of family life than the family table? It is the place where faith is expressed in giving thanks, where traditions are celebrated as passed-down-through-the-generations recipes are shared, where community is forged as daily “high and lows” are revealed, where serving is demonstrated, and where family values and ethos are on display.

The recipes collected here in The Family Table are “tried and true” family favorites.

Paul and Virginia speak on marriage and parenting throughout the country, and many recordings of their talks have been made available, free of charge. These can be found on the HIM YouTube channel, or by visiting our Free Resources page.
