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.

Very fun book

My kids, love it.

Excellent Hymnal

Shipped quickly with no damage, an excellent hymnal for every church. Large ranges of music form from easy to quite difficult. Contains almost every classic hymn.

Boys love it

My boys are slow at enjoying school but this one they ask for over and over again!

A wild ride and great insight to the temptations of a women

I bought this book mainly to get an idea of how a woman would tell the story of female temptation. I hoped for a behind-the-curtain look at my own wife’s struggles and how my daughter (age 2) might face similar challenges in the future.

My Dear Hemlock did not disappoint. Tilly Dillehay did an amazing job capturing the feel and style of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The read was as insightful as I’d hoped and wildly engaging. I’ll be ordering more copies as gifts this Christmas.

What a refreshing read! It was so convicting to read of sins that are common to us all ... that we don't even know we have but groan in recognition when we read of them. And it was so refreshing to read of the ready remedy to our sin! This clever series of fictional letters was simultaneously a page-turner and a slow read -- I kept rereading passages to let the truths soak in. Wonderfully written. Highly recommend!

Maybe Not a Bedtime Story.

I honestly cringe thinking about papercuts. I'm struggling to get through. Must overcome.

I like the book- I spent a little bit of time diving into the book. I love reading RM's comments and intros to each recipe. It helped me plan my first gathering of our community group. I realized I could make a big batch of a stew I make often. I actually was able to sit and figure out the amounts I'd need for that using the comparisons of recipes and explanations. I'm going to officially use one of the recipes at our November gathering. I enjoy the "real life" quality of this book. Kind of like having an experienced friend in your kitchen helping you to feel less intimidated.

Couldn't put it down!

Love, love, love this book. And... I'm a MAN. Very insightful for sure, and the Screwtape Letters style made is so much fun to read. I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. My wife and daughters are reading it now, and I purchased a copy for my pastor and his wife. This book will remain on our shelf as a useful resource as we have opportunity to counsel other women. Well done, Tilly!

Fun for a 70 yr old grandfather. Looking forward to reading with my youngest.

I think my grandson will enjoy this and improve his reading skills.

Wonderful work

This is in constant rotation in our home. Although, it goes by “Pirate’s Doom” per our three-year-old son.
