Wilderness: Family Worship in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy by Joel R. Beeke | Guided Devotional & Scripture Study Workbook for Families | ... Heritage
Do you need help teaching the Bible in your family? This guide to family worship helps you engage with your children in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The last four books of the Pentateuch pick up where Genesis left off, showing how God faithfully led Israel out of Egypt and dealt with them faithfully during forty years of wilderness wanderings. Use this simple, helpful guide to teach your children how the types and shadows of the Old Testament have pointed God's people of all times to Jesus, the ultimate deliverer of His people.

An excellent follow-up to Beginning: Family Worship in Genesis. This one takes the family through Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, helping to show what these books teach us about God and how they point to Christ. Each day is relatively brief but still goes deep. Some of it will go over the head of younger kids, but there is opportunity for all ages to learn and engage through the discussion questions.
Invaluable. I appreciate how most lessons so naturally point to Christ in some way or other. Would not recommend it with a child below 5. I read it as devotional with my 4 and half y.o. son and had to simplify most lessons. But will definitely go through it again some other time.
We used this book, the second in this series, in our family devotional time after finishing the first one. It's also a great book for adult personal Bible study and devotion. I learned along with my children as well.
