Our 24 Family Ways grew out of author Clay Clarkson's desire to integrate lively family devotions with meaningful biblical discipleship in training his children to walk on God’s path of life. Originally published in 1996 in a “flip chart” style to give busy dads a “just add Bible” family devotional plan, Our 24 Family Ways has grown since then into a complete Bible character “curriculum” for families, complete with instructions for making “My 24 Family Ways” binders for each child. Clay is a graduate of Denver Seminary, and has been in vocational Christian ministry most of his adult life. He is the author of Educating the WholeHearted Child, Heartfelt Discipline, and other books for Christian parents.

The only thing missing from this whole family devotional guide is you…to open it and use it. Clear instructions and a generous helping of creative ideas and suggestions are included for using the Ways in your family.
