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.

Learning Contentment

An excellent book that points us back to God's word and His exhortation to be content in all circumstances.

Amazing

I love this book and have bought it for many of my friends this Christmas. Thank you, Andy Naselli, Canon Press, and most importantly the Lord Jesus for this tremendous resource on why reading well is vital!

Not Lewis, but darn near close

I absolutely love Lewis’ Screwtape letters, so it was a hard sell to believe someone could fill those shoes. Tilly absolutely lives up to the hype though and makes your squirm from the moment you open the book.

QUALITY product. I was pleased with the packing as well -- it looked like someone carefully and thoughtfully packed a gift for me. The binding looks just like the advertised picture. SO excited to give these as gifts.

I used it with a student group. It was a helpful supplement to the video, though sometimes it was difficult to fully integrate the three resources; book, video and study guide. More material like this would be welcome.

I really like the simplicity of the item. The bottom elastic is a little snug for my preference but otherwise, the size is right and the quality seems good.

Excellent

This book is an encapsulation for why I love Canon Press and have followed them through the years. —Practical truth for raising your kids in the Lord, raising your kids in the church, helping to build a godly framework for making the right decisions, discipline them when they go off the rails, teaching repentance and forgiveness for sin goes both ways, and working diligently at being a consistent example for them in your own life so that they can see you Love and obey the Lord too.

Needs the wind to blow in one direction

Overall I love this flag. Its large. Its study. It’s fun. It’s subversive in a Kingdom way while confusing the neighbors into thinking I am a pirate.

The only issue, and thus is the nature of the product and not a fault of Canon, is that the side printed with the words “No Quarter November” shows through the other side backwards, as it must. So when the wind blows in one direction it’s legal and if the other way not so much. Again, not a fault of Canon but the buyer just might want to be aware.

Would I buy it again? In a heartbeat! Will I fly it every November? You bet! If only some day to honor DOUG Wilson’s legacy.

Great

Thought the book had some great arguments for why we should not neglect the Authorized Version. I really enjoyed it.

Fantastic

I’ve listened to this multiple times and I’m so excited to have this beautiful copy.

Excellent quality!

I bought this for my husband and he loves it ! Everything is top quality.

Excellent Hat - Love the logo

Quality snap back hat. Will be wearing it more than just during November.

NQN Hats are the best hats

This high-quality, good-looking hat will be a conversation starter for many years to come. You should have one too.

Wonderful Book

Spot on

The author has diagnosed a rampant problem in America today. A problem that easily slips under the radar of most people.
