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. 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

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.

Buy it, will not be sorry
Color: Ingram Brown
Had previously ordered a Dockers Trifold after having two in the past, it fell apart within a couple weeks. This Fossil wallet, on the other hand, is VERY nice. Very happy with my new wallet, worth the extra $15-20

Only wallet I've owned for 40+ years, I expect this 3rd one to last another 20 years
Color: Ingram Brown
This is the second wallet I ever bought after the original wallet given to me by my father wore out. I love the trifold wallet and this one has been perfect for me. It's made of all leather which is key to long life. All my wrangler jeans have a faded outline on the right front pocket where I carry it. It has multiple slips for my many credit cards, grocery reward cards, insurance cards, business cards, driver license and passport card. There are some pockets behind those for my library card (I seldom need it since I know the number by heart) and my America the Beautiful pass which I only need when I visit a national park. The only complaint still remains from the first version and is that the pockets are about 1 mm to skinny on a new wallet. Maybe that's a good thing so everything doesn't fall out when I open it up to use it. I'm highly partial and highly surprised this wallet is still being made. I'm looking forward to buying another one in 20 years.

Functionally perfect
Awesome watch, don't love the strap but that's just preference. It's wears on the wrist just fine, really only an aesthetic thing. I have three Casio watches and they are all great. Leather bands don't corrode like metal ones, so that's a plus as well.
