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.

For my 6 yr old

This one is simple and great for new readers. She is very interested in reading everything and loves that she can pick this one up and read much of it. It will be one we read often, and maybe that will help understand the moral and point, for all of us. And it’s confusing when a rhyming book stops rhyming in a weird way…

What a great daily reference!

My 7 year old son’s favorite. Whenever there is complaining we reference this book and it helps snap the kids back into a more cheerful form. Cute tale, fun illustrations, and fun to read.

Christmas present

Cute story. My 7 & 6 year old really enjoyed it, especially the pictures. Personally I love the gender roles depicted and the bro/sis relationship with in those. I see it daily at my house.

A good guide for a timeless masterpiece

This is a great tool for highlighting some of the main points in each section. A second and third edition could be written and still not fully encompass Calvin’s masterpiece.

This book is truly amazing! It’s as if it puts on glasses that both zoom in and zoom out on the world at the same time! If you ever find yourself growing bored of the world around you, this book is definitely a must-read.

Succinct Book

What a great book on evangelism. Practical, to the point, key on focus. Would highly recommend. Bought 2 additional copies to give away to a couple of brothers.

Fun and imaginative!

Cute story and well illustrated pictures. Kill the dragon, get the girl!

Beautiful!

These were beautifully made and printed dish towels.

Phenomenal Book!

Absolutely loved this book! I wish I had ordered more, I’d gift them to all my Christian, female friends! Would recommend to anyone honestly, SUCH a good read! I love how Tilly reminds us of so many ways we’re subtly lured towards sin (and how we so often justify it to ourselves), but she also highlights the strong, glorious potential God put in us. You won’t get stuck feeling hopeless or irredeemable, as you’ll be reminded that God made us women with a wonderful purpose, and He’s there every step of the way, sanctifying us and using us for His great plan, despite the best efforts of the enemy!

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

She loves it.

My wife loves it, and has shared snippets from it with me that she has especially enjoyed.

Four-year-olds loved it!

This is absolutely a boy book! I bought it for my little cousin and he loved it—his twin sister was mesmerized too. A hilarious book—to quote my husband “this is a book for boys and their fathers, not girls and their mothers.”😂

Kids really like it and I enjoy reading it to them!

Liked it so much we bought it for my husband's brother
