The tools that helped Christians stop wringing their hands about their kids' educations and actually do something about it.

Published almost twenty years ago, Douglas Wilson’s Case for Classical Christian Education is a call for parents and educators to do more than just teach kids how to read or to do math and science. Instead, parents and teachers need to educate children’s minds, hearts, and imaginations.

Both homeschooling parents and Christians seeking to build schools will find a lot of guidance from this book. Wilson explains the benefits of an education that is both distinctively classical and distinctively Christian and what such an education might look like. He also draws on years of educating and pastoring to talk about how parents and teachers can manage schools well and train their children’s hearts.

Education is not just preparing kids for the job market, but should be about instilling discipline, character, and love for God and the world He has made.

Thirty years ago, Doug Wilson wrote Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning so that Christian parents could stop wringing their hands at the deterioration of American education and actually do something to resist it.

That resistance begins with getting our children out of public secular schools, but it doesn't end there. We must also give our kids a thoroughly biblical education with the lordship of Jesus Christ at the center. The best structure for that education, Wilson argues, is the classical structure.

And so the classical Christian education movement in America was born. Since the publication of this book, hundreds of classical Christian schools have been started (both nationally and internationally), and hundreds of thousands of homeschooling families have turned to classical Christian education as well.

Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning , originally published by Crossway in 1991, has been republished by Canon Press.

Love it and using in our small group discussions....thank you ☺️

Not For Use In The Water Closet

This is the most wholesome dystopian book I've ever read, and it has an amazing ending that is very satisfying. Most dystopian books focus on how horrible life is, how hopeless it is, and how it beats down the little guy or turns him into a depraved or broken person. Not this book. It seems much more realistic, actually theoretically possible, and better portrays how people might actually act in such poor situations. A very fun book. It's a fast paced, engaging read but you might not want to keep this book in your bathroom to be considerate to your family members!

Good little book.

Good price, quick read, son liked it.

Excellent Curriculum

We love this curriculum. Very usable for a teacher who is learning with their kids. The flashcards and quizzes are well worth it too. Highly recommend!

Great resource for the church!

Nice music, cheap binding

The music is well laid out in this two volume book but the binding isn’t strong enough to hold the weight of the pages which flop over on the music rack occasionally.

Canon Press provided quick shipping and minimal, reusable packaging. We are so thankful to start this book in our first-ever, women’s Bible study at our church! Thank you Nancy Wilson for your faithfulness to God’s Word. Your obedience in teaching women is reaching folks all over the country, in unimaginable ways. God is GOOD!

Loved it! Bought another one for a friend!

My husband and I read this book together and absolutely loved it! What a breath of fresh air!

An excellent follow up to Tilt-a-whirl, Nate discusses how we should live while reminiscing on how those who went before him modeled it for him

Confirmed my belief

Rigney does an excellent job of tracing God’s good graces from the beginning and showing balance between enjoying God’s world and keeping our eyes on what’s important.

I bought it for my wife and she loved it!

Since my wife and I was familiar with Screwtape letters by C.S. Lewis and found out that this was a spin off of that book, I decided to buy for my wife. At the outset she was already excited about the creativity of making a Screwtape letters type of book for women. Tilly Dillehay did not disappoint in making this book. I never saw my wife read a book so quickly, she just couldn't put it down. It was so good as a husband hearing about the things she was learning from the book. From a husband to another husband who may be thinking about buying this book for your wife, you will not regret your decision.

Excellent

I read it originally on Kindle and bought 2 copies following the first time I finished it. I passed one copy along to a man who recently became an elder in my church who is known for his discretion. Reading this book again with a pen.

It is powerful and hopeful, and yet extremely convicting and exposing how I have fallen short in the leadership of my family and church. I'm thankful its short because I have a hard time reading long books in this season of my life. I dont generally read books by people who are still alive, but this stood out to me and is much needed for our current times, and I believe will stand the test of time and be around for quite a while.

May God use this work to convict and transform his shepherds and people to live confidently in the glory and humility of the life He has called for us. Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and let us run, with perseverence, the race marked out for us.
