Greetings,
May I please have your opinion on what is the single best resource for helping a family work through the Scriptures together in family worship?
I have used Books such as Matthew Henry's Commentary, Ryle's Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, and Joel Beeke's Family Worship Bible Guide; but have found them either too lengthy and difficult to understand in a family setting (Henry), or so focused on practical application that the meaning of the text is not explained enough, leaving many questions unanswered (Beeke).
I understand that family worship does not need to be a verse-by-verse exposition of Scripture, but my wife and I would greatly benefit from something that can help us in that area.
Would a study Bible suffice? Which one?
A certain commentary geared toward family worship?
Swear by Matthew Henry?
*Note, a Confession or a catechism are not what I have in mind, for I want to work through a book of Scripture from beginning to end.
Thank you brethren.
