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 perfect sweatshirt.

Great fabric, great fit. Christ is King!

No Quarters Given

This hat shines like Moses' face when I wear out in public in NorCal.

Crispin's Rainy Day

Wonderful read

The 2024 Bucky Irving of 2024 books geared toward Christian women in the tone of Brother Jack.

Brother Jack is a great song by Gable Price and Friends.
Brother Jack can also be a moniker for the big homie C.S.L.

In this book, you'll come across neither. But wait! Its great, dont worry.
Im feeling punchy right now due to the lack of sleep. Im lacking sleep due to the remodel im conducting. Im conducting a remodel to have a coastal home for my family. I have a family because God is gracious and saw fit to bless this rambling fool despite the ability to write traditional reviews.

Buy My Dear Hemlock. Do it! (Shia style)

In all honesty, this book is the best new book ive read since Crispins Rainy Day. Shout out to Forest! I dont know him, but it be a lot cooler if I did. (Mathew McConaughey)

Get this book, the color pallet and marketing is incredible, and the content is even better. Must have for the Holiday season.

Fantastic hats

My husband and teenage son love wearing these hats. They get lots of questions, and have had to develop a clear explanation of NQN movement. My two college sons said their dad looks like a ‘cool dad’ in this hat . Haha!

My 10 year old son will be so excited on Christmas.

Awesome book, especially the art. Very studio Ghibli. Also love that it rhymes

Love them!

We’re so glad to get these!

It's a fun hat! Only bit of negative feedback would be that the fabric on the bottom or the hat is fairly coarse, which causes some discomfort when it rubs on the ears.

Spectacular Hat!

I love everything about this hat! The dye of the wool/blend, first of all, is beautiful. Very rich and vibrant. The stitching is perfect, even the logo both outside the hat, and the tag on the inside just have such a quality look and feel. I’ve paid twice as much for a hat like this and not been as happy. very classy! Keep up the good work - it’s not everyday you stumble upon quality this good.

True Sons

This topic isn’t talked about enough and Doug (also my with others) are just getting the ball rolling. Someone needs to take a stand for fathers and fathers need to take a stand. True sons of true fathers will take this world.

As a woman, this rang so true!! Well done! I wish every young woman would read this!!

Boisterous

I love the levity around danger. Helps my boys be brave and silly in a way that speaks to them. Very original. I look forward to reading this not just to my sons, but to my grandsons someday.

Excellent children's book

This is already a favorite with my 3yr old grandson. The story is God fearing, relevant to our culture's current sins, engaging and memorable. The art work is well done and enjoyable to both child and adult.

Read them 1 at a time.

I was surprised to find out this that this particular collection was wrought with heavy ideas. I found that I could only read 1-2 chapters without feeling like I needed to stop to soak it all in. However, this is a blessing because I have something I have to keep coming back to complete.

I’m a “worship leader” in a lutheran church with stronger evangelical/pentecostal leanings and I recommend this book to ANY church that is struggling to find the identity of their worship service. Music is a big part of that.

Also, Mr. Wilson speaks on listening to “worldly” music. As a pentecostal, this is a no no. As in sin. But mr. Wilson takes the time to explain the actual reasons behind it. Something a youth pastor could definitely hold a discussion with.

Anyway. Recommend.
Why 4 stars? I don’t want to be accused of being a fan boy. Which I accuse myself of being. Sorry about the rating. I hope it doesn’t come back to haunt me.

Excellent read. I listened to the audiobook this past summer and wanted a copy for my classroom.

Incredible.

I'm going through stage 4 cancer right now and this book has been a true help to me. Short enough chapters to consume, yet rich in depth and application.
