Reclaiming Goodness charts a way to reintegrate ethical and spiritual values with the values of critical thought and reason. Written in accessible and non-technical p... View More...
Often the university is seen as a hothouse of anti-Christian bias. Every other belief system, no matter how exotic, seems to receive more respect and support than historic Christian belief. Yet even in this environment, steadily and certainly, men and women of faith have continued to hold and grow in their confidence in Christ. Here are the stories of twenty-two such Christian faculty, who tell in their own words the difference that Christ has made in their lives and their work. Respected and accomplished in a variety of academic disciplines, these believers have come to a strong understanding... View More...
Seldom do we find Christians giving a concerted effort to be self-aware of their spiritual growth. The Scripture encourages us to "give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently." (Deuteronomy 4:9). Yet in order to "give heed" to a mechanism we must surely first understand its functions. How exactly do we attend to all the information that surrounds us? How do we process its meaning? How do we process its importance? What makes us respond as we do? From the Scriptures, as well as the many voices of Western culture, a helpful perspective has been realized to assist the Christian in address... View More...

Children living in poverty have the same God-given potential as children in wealthier communities, but on average they achieve at significantly lower levels. Kids who both live in poverty and read below grade level by third grade are three times as likely not to graduate from high school as students who have never been poor. By the time children in low-income communities are in fourth grade, they're already three grade levels behind their peers in wealthier communities. More than half won't graduate from high school--and many that do graduate only perform at an eighth-grade level. Only one in ... View More...

In The Well-Trained Mind, Susan Wise Bauer and her mother Jessie Wise road-mapped classical education for home school use. In The Well-Educated Mind Bauer goes solo, turning her attention to adult readers who find their own education lacking. Using the same elements and techniques, Bauer divides her Book into two parts -- ''Beginning: Preparing for Classical Education'' and ''Reading: Jumping into the Great Conversation.'' In ''Beginning'' she posits, ''the first stage of reading should be a liberating one. Just read, and keep reading.'' Cautioning against getting hung up on passages we don't ... View More...
Our K-12 school system isn't a good fit for all--or even most--students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps "disability" labels on differences in learning style. Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged.This informed, compassionate, and practical guidebook will show you how to take control of your child's K-12 experience and negotiate the school system in a way that nurtures your child's mind, emotions, and spirit.Understand why we h...
