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.

Crispin's Rainy Day

Luther's comments are pertinent for today.

Finally a picture book with a good story!

After finishing this book, my three year old uttered an “Amen!” and I couldn’t agree more.

Loved by young and old

Both I and my children (ages 3,5, and 7) love this book. There are some books that are a slog as a parent to get through. This is not one of those. You will love it and so will your kids. Surprisingly humorous too. There is a page that always gets a laugh.

Loved the title.

Excellent “road map commentaries” on Paul’s epistles thus far. Great group study material! Through this commentary, was introduced to R. Kent Hughes. Grateful for Doug’s ministry and canon press!

We are loving this book. The stories are well thought out and have created great discussion with our children.

My Dear Hemlock

Unique approach, solidly biblical.

Very helpful, touches on things that I’ve never seen in other far more popular marriage books. Solidly biblical.

Best children’s Dragon Story

I recently was exposed to the disappointing movie, How to Train a Dragon. It was demoralizing and terribly confusing for young Christian minds who are drawn in by the beautiful animation and empathy with God’s creatures. In contrast, Crispin’s Rainy Day displays excellent art with a noble and realistic drama. The hero overcomes his own sin to win the day for a godly feminine hero who instructs me every time I think of her character. This is good art!

Wonderful

Wonderful book for a young, married woman with a baby! I am now gifting it to friends.

My kid loves it

I enjoy waking up to a word of encouragement each day, and find myself revisiting it again at night.

Favorite Board Book!

All our kids, both boys and girls, have loved Hello Ninja! We buy it for all the babies we know!

Great book

I couldn’t see any imperfections! My 2.5 year old loves this and has already memorized most of the book. :)

I read this book along with my reading of 2 Corinthians. I appreciated Doug’s insight and humor. The book definitely enhanced my study.

Very Helpful for Family Worship

Cantica Sanctorum is a fantastic setting of Psalms and it has been extremely helpful for my wife and I in our family worship. Psalm 113 is our favorite so far.
