Matthew Henry—A Church in the House

C. Ryle, and Lewis Bayly.
To see the latest additions to the site (including selections from Charles Spurgeon's A Good Start, John S. C. Abbott's The Mother at Home, and Lectures and Exposition on the Heidelberg Catechism by George W. Bethune and Zacharias Ursinus) go to the What's New section.
Psalmody, As a part of Family Worship—a selection from James W. Alexander's Thoughts on Family Worship. "It is the duty of Christians to praise God, by singing psalms or hymns, publicly in the church, as also privately in the family."
In the interest of promoting and enriching family worship, we are posting selections from Henry Law's volumes on Daily Prayer and Praise. Daily Prayer and Praise is comprised of short devotional pieces based on the Psalms and intended for use in family worship or private devotion. Psalms 1–49 and 60–75 are now online.
Also useful in family worship is J. C. Ryle's Expository Thoughts on the Gospels. Ryle's Expository Thoughts on the Gospels were written with the hope that: "…the work may be found suitable for use at family prayers, …that the work may prove an aid to those who visit the sick and the poor, and …that the work may not be found unprofitable for private reading, as a companion to the Gospels."
Ryle's Expository Thoughts on The Gospel of St. Matthew is now available in its entirety at Online Articles or as a Theophilos download: see below.
For Family Reformation is dedicated to producing quality add-ons for Theophilos that hold to the tenets of the Protestant Reformation and with an emphasis on titles that edify challenge and nurture the family.
