In Habits of the Household, Justin Whitmel Earley—award-winning author and father of four—shares a practical and deeply spiritual guide for families looking to weave faith and intentionality into daily life. Drawing from his own journey, Earley reveals how the ordinary moments of family life—from bedtime stories and mealtime prayers to morning routines—can become powerful opportunities to teach children about God’s love, patience, and grace.
With warmth and wisdom, Earley demonstrates how small, repeated practices shape our hearts and homes over time. Each chapter offers actionable patterns, prayers, and liturgies designed to help families turn chaos into purpose and cultivate a home that tells the story of God.
Bedtime Routines: Creating calm and grace-filled rituals to end the day.
Discipline as Discipleship: Transforming discipline into spiritual formation.
Mealtime Practices: Using the table as a place for community and gratitude.
Spiritual Awareness: Embracing everyday moments as glimpses of God’s presence.
Intentional Planning: Using tools and rhythms to shape family life with purpose.
Justin Whitmel Earley’s central message is that “we become our habits, and our kids become us,” reminding parents that every moment in family life—no matter how mundane—can be an opportunity for discipleship and growth.
Since its release, Habits of the Household has resonated deeply with parents, with over 250,000 copies sold and thousands of five-star reviews. It has become a go-to resource for families seeking to ground their daily life in faith.
