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.

Chickadee Readers: My First Stories Bundle (Sets 1-4)

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

Great Kids Book

Enjoyed how the boys and girls are distinguished in this book according to design. Would recommend.

Good kick in the butt for young and old men alike

The Fruit of Her Hands

I think every woman should read this book before marriage and then often afterward. It is a good, practical review of what the Bible tells us about how I should behave as a wife and woman. While it made me angry at times, after I cooled off I understood more clearly what I need to work on and why. Thank you for sound teaching from a sister in Christ.

Brief Book

Appreciate Pastor Wilson’s teaching on the family. Brief book but relevant and helpful. Would recommend.

Worth a serious read, Ladies

Tilly Dillehay has written a masterpiece every bit as worthwhile as Screwtape Letters. Focusing on the specific challenges facing women and how we are attacked differently, the book lays bare the excuses we make for the sins we commit.
