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.

Less mess, more style!
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
So happy with this purchase! I was a tiny bit wary buying an item without any reviews yet, however I saw that the other caddies from this brand all had many positive reviews and seemed to be good quality. The diatomaceous earth base of this caddy elevated this option to me, so I went for it. I've had it out for a few days and am extremely happy that I went with this option! It absorbs water super quickly, so there are no more rings and residue left on the top of my sink, and it makes my countertop look that much more cute and put-together. Heads up it is a little deep compared to some other trays/caddies; I knew this ahead of time so planned to put it directly to the side of my sink so that it did not overlap. I think the size is worth it, since it accommodates about 2 soap products and has plenty of adjustable room for bottle brushes, sponges, drain stoppers, and whatever other items you need. Overall, I highly recommend!

Sturdy and does the job well.
Color: Black
Very stable. Have a narrow ledge on my sink and it balances great without falling. Holds all my sponges and brushes and dish soap. Hasn’t rusted and I’ve had it for a while now. Looks nice on my sink. Keeps my counters dry and my sponges mold free.

Buy it you'll love it. You'll realize that you really needed it
Color: Black
Size is perfect for rag, scrubber sponges soap. It's very sturdy love that the block on bottom dryies up all the liquid it's absolutely amazing. It's very convenient, love the way you can organize everything. I'm the kind of person I have to have everything organized that's the way I grew up. I have not seen any signs of rust no where. Highly recommend. It is very very nice.

Funcional but smaller than I thought
Color: B-silver
I liked it and it replaces something around the kitchen sink that was constantly dripping liquid soap dish into the sink making a mess! This new organizes items much better. It's smaller than I envisioned and wish it came with it's own soap bottles dispensers but I found two small ones placing them side by side and it works. Did not use the metal divider. I cannot tell yet the drying speed of the sliding out stone. It's functional at keeping everything hands reach and organized around the kitchen sink.
