Classical vs. Modern Education
Summary
Discover the best education for your child imaginable! With all the education options available today, choosing the right school or curriculum for your child can be daunting. But what if you knew what the ideal education looked like? Now you will! C.S. Lewis, the beloved author of the Chronicles of Narnia series, guides us on a journey that contrasts classical and contemporary education approaches. Lewis explains that while the cultivation of virtue was central to classical education, modern education stifles such moral formation by teaching a scientifically-inspired mechanistic vision of the world. By rediscovering classical education, Lewis argues that the affections of our students can be trained to love what's truly lovely and thereby experience human flourishing. Here is a preview of what you'll learn.... How to assess different educational approaches What is meant by the classical emphasis on virtue formation How our notion of the educated person has changed over the centuries The consequences of modern education for what it means to be human How to get involved in classical education How to access available classical education resources And much, much more! The best possible education is at your fingertips! Take action today and awaken your child to a world of educational flourishing!

The Return of Christendom
Summary
Are we seeing the revitalization of Christian civilization? Everywhere we look, it appears that the secular left celebrates another victory lap. From politics to the media, from education to the arts, liberals seem to be completely in control. It's no wonder, then, that so many prominent conservative traditionalists are hopelessly pessimistic about the future of Western civilization. But what if this is just one side of the equation? What if it turns out that brewing beneath the surface, a renewed Christian age is rising? In this thought-provoking audiobook, Dr. Steve Turley argues that there is in fact two revolutions concurrently taking place: a demographic revolution and a political revolution, both of which suggest a significant conservative Christian resurgence. Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn. Why scholars believe that the fertility discrepancy between conservative Christians and secularists means a far more conservative future How Europe is already reversing its demographic decline with a nationalist baby boom How conservative Christianity is on the rise in the US Why scholars believe there is a resurgence of Christianity in Europe How these demographic and religious trends are already reshaping much of European society And much, much more! Drawing from scholarly studies and current events, Dr. Turley's study will inspire you to reject the naysayers predicting the twilight of the West and instead embrace a hopeful vision of cultural renewal and the coming Christian majority.

The Abolition of Sanity: C.S. Lewis on the Consequences of Modernism
Summary
Why does it seem like the world is falling apart? Everywhere we look today, the world is changing, and not for the better. For many of us, such political and cultural changes have been so dramatic that we no longer recognize our societies anymore. So what's going on? This book has the answer! In this masterful work, The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis observes how the modern world is in fact changing our conception of what it means to be human by sequestering humanity from the objective values that made us most human. Focusing on modern educational reforms, Lewis noted that instead of virtue formation, modern educational practices perpetuate a mechanistic vision of the world comprised of scientifically inspired control over nature and, as a necessary consequence, humans. Here’s a preview of what you’ll learn: How modernist assumptions about the world differ drastically from classical and Christian ones. How modernism is radically reshaping a fundamentally different conception of humanity. What role education plays in perpetuating modernist norms about the world. How the role of virtue and wisdom formation can become a powerful antidote to these secularizing tendencies. And much, much more...along with a whole BONUS SECTION of study questions and answers to group discussion! In this insightful and thought provoking audiobook, you will discover C.S. Lewis’ invitation to challenge the modernist assumptions of our age by rediscovering the doctrine of objective values and, in so doing, you will rediscover a hope for truly human flourishing for generations to come.
