An Essay on Family Prayer

, 1847

Overview

Believing the spiritual vitality of family units to be integral to God’s mission through the church, Bridges wrote this essay encouraging family prayer. “For as personal religion cannot exist or be sustained without personal prayer,” he writes, “so neither can we identify family religion without family prayer, or fail to number this daily privileged service as a most valuable ordinance of social godliness.” His essay is a stirring call for fathers and mothers to lead the charge in disciple making.
