Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning: An Approach to Distinctively Christian EducationThirty 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.

We must also give our kids a thoroughly biblical education with the lordship of Jesus Christ

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.

Look Inside the Book or Listen on Canon+

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.

What People Are Saying:

"Good at diagnosing our educational afflictions, Douglas Wilson is still better at finding remedies. His Logos School provides a model, a practical design, for the restoration in the curriculum of Christian humanism—as contrasted with what Christopher Dawson called secular humanism." -Russell Kirk, author of The Conservative Mind

"A funny thing happened as the 20th century came to a close. A number of Christians began to form what were being called “classical and Christian” schools. Believers who would have been (or were) involved in their local traditional Christian school or public school were suddenly making the case for Latin, reading the great books of the Western intellectual tradition, and talking about the traditional liberal arts—-the trivium and the quadrivium. Many in this growing movement of Christian and classical schools in recent decades would cite as inspiration a book by Douglas Wilson, Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning" -Bradley Green, The Gospel Coalition

Douglas Wilson has been the pastor for Christ Church for over forty years and is a father of three and grandfather of seventeen. He has helped found many educational institutions such as New Saint Andrews College, Logos School, and Greyfriars Hall. He has written other books on education, such as The Case for Classical Christian Education, Excused Absence, and The Paideia of God.

CUTE LITTLE PINK JEWELRY BOX GREAT FOR THIN CHAINS AND RINGS
Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W
The Jewelry box was a great Pink Color. I understand the dimensions were posted but I did not understand the box was as small as it was. The box however was sturdy and made with great quality. It is a great box for small non bulky jewelry. I would buy again.

Very nice for the price
Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W, Color: Jelly Pink, Size: 8"W
This is a very nice jewelry case, especially for the price (around $10). I want to note that it is top heavy; even without the mirror inside the top part it tips over (won't sit flat on the bottom part when open, most of the time). There are some minor imperfections in the case, but nothing that will prevent it from doing its job and it still looks really nice. The necklace pocket does not have any dividers, it's one pocket. The zipper tabs look like they were painted, I'm not sure what material is underneath, but I'm hoping it does not chip over time. The stitching on the case looks nicely done.

Perfect for travel. Sturdy and will keep your items safe.
Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W, Color: Cloud White, Size: 8"W
This was a galentines gift for a gift exchange. It comes with multiple compartments that are removable and can hold any type of jewelry from studs to necklaces, rings and bracelets. Any solid bracelet takes some maneuvering to hold. This is semi customizable to fit your needs and will house most jewelry items. The zipper does get stuck a bit but is a strong thick zipper and not super flimsy. The inserts on the sides can be removed, however, the ring inserts seem to be glued down. Bigger jewelry or chunky jewelry pieces may not fit well in this travel case. All in all it can hold quite a bit, the size is compact and perfect for travel and it’s a handy organizer for jewelry.

Great Value For The Money
Color: White
I needed something to present my daughter's upcoming 18th birthday gift in. It's a charm bracelet and a bunch of individual meaningful charms. None of them come in gift boxes, and I want something to present them all together in. Failing to find a gift box to fit the bill, I thought that this cute jewelry box would be a nice alternative. I am pleasantly surprised at what I received for the price. I expected a flimsy cardboard-ish box, and this is not that. It's not heirloom quality, but it is a nice sturdy box, well put together, and the interior tray and dividers are thick. Interior fabric is nicely soft and velvety. The box is larger than I expected, it will hold a good amount of jewelry, and it's pretty and of much better quality than I anticipated. Will certainly make a very nice presentation for my daughter's gift, and she'll be able to use it for many years, I'm sure.
