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.

Fun reading for the family

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

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.

Delightful!

What a delightful book. We are looking forward to gifting it to our grandson for Christmas!

Great fun

Wonderful art.
