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.

The books were wrapped beautifully in brown packing paper. I loved that!

Do much fun

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old ball of energy boy. I handed it to my husband before I hid it away and he was chuckling out loud. Very rare in a picture book!

Excellent book

This book is the most Biblically grounded, practical parenting book I've ever read. Pastor Brock does an amazing job humbly applying Proverbs 22:6 "Train a child up in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." My husband and I are both first generation Christians who have needed a lot of Biblical wisdom in raising our children. This book helped us as well as other members of our church to apply the scriptures in our parenting. If there is any parenting book I would recommend, it's this one! Thank you Canon and Pastor Brock!

Classic for endless reads to the Grandkids

The storyline, plot and worldview are spot-on!

I wish this book was around when I was a younger woman. I could have really benefitted from the wisdom. Even still, the lessons exposed are even that much more powerful for me now. I would love to go through this book with some kind of women’s mentorship group at our church. Looking forward to sharing this with my own daughter when she is old enough.

Intriguing style

There are all kinds of hidden messages that can be read into each page of twists and turns of the old alphabet books versus the Bible, versus Doug Wilson's penetrating irony.

Christian labor?

I prefer Made in the USA products, sourced from Christians overseas, or lastly from "milder communists", although Pastor Doug Wilson has commented in the past about our inability to control what the evil countries do ultimately; it's in God's hands.

A delightful, thought-provoking, and inspiring read.

A great adventure

My kids love this book. They want to read it every day. I love that it is a poem so it introduces rhyming. It’s fun to read and the illustrations are vibrant and fun!

Very fun book

My kids, love it.

Excellent Hymnal

Shipped quickly with no damage, an excellent hymnal for every church. Large ranges of music form from easy to quite difficult. Contains almost every classic hymn.

Boys love it

My boys are slow at enjoying school but this one they ask for over and over again!

A wild ride and great insight to the temptations of a women

I bought this book mainly to get an idea of how a woman would tell the story of female temptation. I hoped for a behind-the-curtain look at my own wife’s struggles and how my daughter (age 2) might face similar challenges in the future.

My Dear Hemlock did not disappoint. Tilly Dillehay did an amazing job capturing the feel and style of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The read was as insightful as I’d hoped and wildly engaging. I’ll be ordering more copies as gifts this Christmas.
