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.

new fav
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
i’m always really skeptical of trying new face washes but I do love this brand and I’ve been using their lotions forever. It’s the only thing that keeps me hydrated so I thought I would give this a try I do have pretty dry skin so if I use that product alone with no moisturizer, of course I’m going to be dry, but with this wash and their lotion that I use, my skin is hydrated, I am not breaking out. This is definitely become a favorite for me, I do wear a little bit of makeup, but I haven’t tested if the wash itself takes off all the makeup I use their micellar water and then I use the cleanser and that works great!! even with that double cleanse as long as I’m using that lotion, my skin is not dry at all. I have noticed my makeup goes on smoother and I’m hydrated through these winter months. the gel texture is different, but it feels nice on the skin for me It doesn’t feel like you have to keep washing to get it off. A little goes a long way and I wouldn’t really say there is a scent to it but it’s just a very clean smell

The best face wash for extremely dry face!
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best facial cleanser for very dry face. I use tretinoin and have very dry peeling face at times, that can be unbearable. I've tried nearly every brand of face wash and type. This is the best!!!! It leaves my face silky smooth, helps get all the dead skin off and lessens to eliminates my itch. I mean it when I say it's wonderful!

My Go-to Face Wash Now, Clean Feeling, NO Residue, Very Affordable
Size: 13.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've tried many face wash, trust. And this is the best even for dudes with POC oily skin. I use mostly Korean beauty products. And only premium brands. Premium brand costly but much of the other cheaper products is marketing and waste of money and time. Eurecin Hydrating Face Wash is not expensive, commonly found brand name in drug stores and box stores BUT it has the best cleaning feeling you get for washing your face without harsh chemical ingredients. \ No residue feeling. Very light before, during, and after. I say light, even before, because in the bottle it looks and moves like water, not really gel-like. Slides like water on your fingers when applying...then on your face it feels light too with moderate soapiness when rubbed and cleansing face. After washing your face, you feel like nothing is on your face, not residue oils, no weird medicinal smell. Just the cleanest feeling. And I use it everyday yet it last decently long. It's my go-to cleaning face wash now.

gentle and effective cleanser but a bit drying
Size: 6.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Update: I added another star to the original rating because I am able to fix the problem of dry skin with a light layer of squalane oil right after washing with this cleanser. Since I utilized moisturizing oil in my routine I no longer have dry and tight skin after cleansing. This cleanser is still effective at removing my mineral sunscreen without breaking me out or cause any irritations. I will finish the bottle and then decide if I will repurchase. I only use a (large) pea size at a time so this will go a long way. Original review: I have combo skin. My cheeks are very dry while the T zone is very oily. I used Vanicream facial cleanser for years. They are a bit drying on my cheeks in winter time but otherwise perfectly fine. I do not like the shiny mica in it, and Eucerin's hydrating cleansing gel has hyaluronic acid so it's supposedly more hydrating. The reality is that Eucerin is no more hydrating than Vanicream and even when used in the middle of summer it's slighly drying on my dry cheeks. Aside from that, it's totally fungal acne safe (just like the Vanicream), very gentle, did not break me out, and has a very pleasant consistency. I will not buy it again given the disappointing hydration capability and higher price (than Vanicream). BTW, I do not wear make up so I cannot compare the two for cleansing abilities.
