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.

New Family Favourite!

Mom and Dad are almost as excited for bedtime as our little adventurers. We are really appreciate the details hidden in the illustrations that you can only notice after reading it several times. Thank you for this wonderful addition to our home library!

Great book

My 6 year old loved this and it has moved to the top of the list for repeated reads. Thank you!

Eye opening for my sons!

My two boys tend to clique together and disregard their sole sister. It was so fun to see them consider how to include her in their play in the way that Crispen did. And her in Oregon we have lots of Rainy days coming up, so I look forward to reading this to them again and sending them off on their own adventure where they can be thankful for a sister who will care for them while they protect her. I will be purchasing this for my nephew!

Excellent

Wonderful artwork and the message was clear and sweet.

Fun, meaningful and highly enjoyable story!

My kids and I love this book, and have read it too many times to count! A very fun story, with great values and excellent illustration!

Sequel when?

My kids and I love this book. I appreciate the language used in the writing. The art is excellent and I can only hope to see more from the characters and their adventures. My kids are waiting for more!

Crispin's Rainy Day

Great bedtime story for my toddler

My three year old son loves the book, and asks for it to be his bedtime story every night. Blessings and a curse as my wife and I have it all but memorized. He’s definitely a happy customer though.

Great children’s book!! 10/10

Hard to read? Stay on it!

It took me a long time to see how bad envy had rotted out areas of my life, but God is faithful to forgive us our sins. Tilly Dillehay does a great job walking through some of the common ways envy settles into the bones and why it's enormously dangerous. I am thankful for her Biblical stance as she reminds us that Christ is all, and in him, envy has no room to roost.

Thank you for the fun and excellent story and illustrations. My grandchildren loved it and they want to read it over and over again. One is 9 years old and the other is 4 years old. Good literature and blessing for our family

N. D. Wilson Bundle: Author's Collection Edition

Crispin’s Rainy Day

This is SUCH a wonderful book—the story AND the illustrations! I ordered copies for each of our sons’ families. The grandchildren were delighted. Even the 10 year old! I think I need to order another copy for myself—to keep at Nana’s House! Great job, Mr. Dickison AND Canon Press! May God continue to bless the work of your hands.

Beautiful picture book

This was such a delightful book and our entire family from 1 up to 42 enjoyed it. Both the story and pictures hold up to multiple reads.

My sons’ new favorite book! He LOVES the art work.

Great *little hat

Great looking hat, but it is tiny. If you are an average sized man, this probably isn’t for you. Looks good on my kid though!

Tremendous book, my boys love it, art is great too, esp. The panel with the dragon flying by

Great Curriculum

I have used this curriculum with my own children and am currently teaching it at a co-op with a mix of middle schoolers and high schoolers. It is simple to use and is engaging and fun, even for a teacher that has no previous experience studying logic.

Good story

The children’s grandmother loved this book and she has read thousands of children’s books.
