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 Fruit of Her Hands

I think every woman should read this book before marriage and then often afterward. It is a good, practical review of what the Bible tells us about how I should behave as a wife and woman. While it made me angry at times, after I cooled off I understood more clearly what I need to work on and why. Thank you for sound teaching from a sister in Christ.

Brief Book

Appreciate Pastor Wilson’s teaching on the family. Brief book but relevant and helpful. Would recommend.

Worth a serious read, Ladies

Tilly Dillehay has written a masterpiece every bit as worthwhile as Screwtape Letters. Focusing on the specific challenges facing women and how we are attacked differently, the book lays bare the excuses we make for the sins we commit.

Keep Your Kids: How to Raise Strong Kids in an Age of Therapeutic Sentimentalism

Thankful for the truth shared in this book!

This has become one of my favorite books on Christian identity and femininity! I actually ordered this copy for a friend's birthday shortly after receiving my own and finishing it. Highly recommend!
I appreciate the words of truth not dulled or dimmed but also not just thrown carelessly. It is obvious that the author took care to be clear and kind in her communication of hard words.
I really enjoyed how it was specifically geared towards me, as a woman. It shone a lot of truth into areas I didn't know I needed that light. Identity in Christ applies to all Christians, but I appreciated how this book focused on how that impacts a woman's life and heart.
Keep a pencil nearby for underlining! You'll want it! So good.

The cover of this book is hilarious! It made me want to read it. Jim Wilson is a good writer. I also enjoyed his”Weapons and Tactics” book.
