The current lockdown has been a tough reality for many people and families aren't excluded from that.
Many parents are facing the challenge of balancing work from home, home schooling children in addition to the usual pressures that families exist with day to day.
Finding time together to read and pray with our children is an extra challenge within these new routines.
If this is a struggle for you then can I recommend the book we've been using as a basis for some of our Family Friday reflections.
It helpfully takes you as a family through different truths (theologies) about God ranging from God to the 10 Commandments to the Church.
There are 71 chapters in all but each chapter takes about 5 mins to read through together.
You can then spend another 5-10 minutes asking or answering questions that arise from the chapter.
As a family we've found this manageable over breakfast or at the end of tea (before the madness of clearing away plates and the arguments over whose turn it is to load the dishwasher!).
It is a worthy investment that will hopefully be a book you as a family will return to time and again.
It is also a worthy gift for any grandparents or aunts and uncles among us wondering what to send to any grandchildren or nephews and nieces during this lockdown.
Both 10ofthose.com and thegoodbook.co.uk have good deals on it at the moment.
