Here's what's inside. 

 

The middle ages and Reformation began a conversation about truth, beauty, and goodness. Modernity and postmodernism tragically interrupted that conversation, and modern Evangelicalism has often simply echoed the hollowness of our modern culture. But we can do better.

The modern view of the world is empty and lifeless, nothing more than a bunch of matter in motion, with life by the thousandth chance emerging from chaos. The modern world, as a result, can only conceive of progress as more efficiency, more technology, more domination.

In stark contrast to this, Christianity presents a glorious vision for culture, and the vision of a world with truth, beauty, and goodness built into the very molecules of the universe.

Medieval and Protestant Christianity began a conversation about truth, beauty, and goodness, but secularism ended the conversation mid-sentence. Sadly many Christians, while continuing to believe in the Gospel have become just as blind to the beauty of the universe and the need for a culture in which that beauty is recognized and cultivated.

This book sketches a vision of Medieval Protestantism, covering such diverse topics as creeds, poetry, history, the church, feasting, and storytelling as they are to be found in the Christian faith alone.

 

Christians think that making fun of people is never okay. If so, then why did Jesus and the prophets do so much of it?

Satire is a kind of preaching. Satire pervades Scripture. Satire treats the foibles of sinners with a less than perfect tenderness. But if a Christian employs satire today, he is almost immediately called to account for his "insensitive" and "unloving" behavior. But is the Golden Rule really "be nice"? Actually, Scripture shows that the central point of some religious controversies is to give offense. When Christ was confronted with ecclesiastical obstinacy and other forms of arrogance, He showed us a godly pattern for giving offense.

In every controversy godliness and wisdom (or the lack of them) are to be determined by careful appeal to the Scriptures and not the fact of people having taken offense. In this book, veteran satirist Douglas Wilson explains his rationale for why so much of what he says gets people upset and yet he continues to speak as he does, and why you should (sometimes) too for the sake of the Gospel.

"When Nehemiah was leading the Jews in their project of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, the enemies of Israel mocked them and said, “It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words” (Neh. 6:6).

Today we see a culture that is increasingly hostile to Christians, and Christians are increasingly aware that they need to form strong communities to do for them what the culture no longer can. This is a good  thing, but it will only work if like Nehemiah and his men we are committed to resisting the dictates of our culture. If we are at all afraid of looking like the crazy fundamentalists that our culture loves to hate, then our communities will be as easily led by the culture as anybody else.

In this short book, Pastor Douglas Wilson describes some of the most important ways to create and maintain counter-cultural Christian communities. Whether he is talking about the need for kids to get calluses or for love and loyalty within churches, Douglas Wilson brings decades of on-the-ground wisdom and experience to the topic.

A city without walls is not really a city; neither is a city without a church at the center. Get busy. Build the walls, fight sin, love your family and church, and live out the Gospel."

 


A Primer on Worship and Reformation

You Say You Want a Reformation?

Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

It is no secret that our world desperately needs change. Politicians know this and use it to collect votes. Journalists exploit it to sell newspapers and magazines. Advertisers, to sell everything else. Each of these groups (and countless others) spend their lives working to convince others that they hold the key to a better country, a better life, a better future.

But what exactly is this change we all long for? And how can it ever come about? A Primer on Worship and Reformation proposes that true change begins, not with a process or an idea, but through faithful worship. To witness true global change—true reformation—we must first pray the Lord that we would see worship at the center of life. The truth is that when the Word is faithfully preached, even the gates of hell tremble. When the Psalms are sung, the meek inherit the earth. When the church celebrates at the Lord's Table, those who mourn are comforted.

If we learn these lessons and believe them to be true, we will find that through renewed worship God brings change to every facet of our lives.

Crispin's Rainy Day

Favorite Latin books

As one who never learned Latin myself, I’m unqualified to teach it. The great blessing of these books for me is that they are teaching me (the teacher) how to teach Latin! Additionally, this is the first curriculum I found to use pictures (beautiful ones!) to teach vocabulary… much like how we learned our first language. At last, I am enjoying teaching Latin, my children are enjoying it, and we are all actually LEARNING it. God bless one and all who put, I’m sure, years of work into it.

Pretty cool

This is a beautifully illustrated, enchanting story for children. It was bought as a birthday gift for my 5yo.

Phenomenal

This book is very clear, helpful, and visionary on the subject matter. More great material from Doug Wilson.

Delightful Read !

Very helpful OT introduction. Written at a high school reading level and lots of insights into OT/NT connections and themes. Peter writes exceptionally clear prose and there is no filler. Wonderful read! A+

Good/Rare Message

Amazing message for my boys to hear. Most books today are focused on girls, while Blah Blah let's boys be boys and doesn't encourage them to chop their genitals off. Really good artwork too.

Instant Favorite

My children absolutely loved this book and the illustrations. The story is really helpful to demonstrate the effects of having a complaining attitude in a way that shows the ugliness of this sin and then points them to a better way. This book was an instant favorite!

Inspired

This story really hit home, and brings sunshine to a bad attitude.

Great for a trouble maker

Love this one, this reminds me a lot of my son and inspires others to be fun and authentic too.

Great Adventure

This instantly became a book the we read over and over again. It felt good to see my son excited about a wholesome story.

Helpful

This study guide has been helpful to follow during our book club discussion time.

Solid Curriculum

Solid Curriculum for the beginner/transitioning school, or the school who does not have access to many Latin teachers. We have used it for at least 5 years, and do not have intentions of changing it yet.

Meh?

The advertising for this book played it up as if it was encouraging rough and tumble boys to be leaders and protect those around them. In reality it was a very thin version that concept set to the tune of bah bah black sheep lacking substance and direction.

Excellent Men's Group Study

This book is so good, we decided to use it for our men's breakfast study. We've also found it to be a valuable resource for some counseling. We're thankful for Dr. Rigney's ministry and for the great resources from Canon Press. Thank you.

My kid's (and now my) favorite book

I've been blessed by the sense of adventure this has put into the heart of my young boy's. Every boy should dream of taking to the seas and slaying the dragon that threatens everything you love.

Crispin's Rainy Day

I bought this book for myself, not for a child haha. The illustrations are fantastic, and Rose is solid!
