The Man Born to Be King
C.S. Lewis read The Man Born to Be King, a twelve-cycle play by Dorothy Sayers, every year during Holy Week. He wrote to her:
The Man Born to Be King
Miss Sayers, I’ve finished The Man Born to Be King and think it a complete success . . . I shed real tears (hot ones) in places: since Mauriac’s Vie de Jesus, nothing has moved me so much. Yours sincerely C.S. Lewis (Collected Letters, II, 577f)

The Liberal Arts Tradition A Philosophy of Christian Classical Education
“We needed this book. . . . Once you’ve read a book or two to introduce you to classical education and have started to ask the deeper questions about its history and nature, get this book and use it as a permanent reference.” —Andrew Kern,
Circe Institute
This staple book for educators and those interested in education introduces readers to a paradigm for understanding a classical education that transcends the familiar three-stage pattern of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Instead, this book describes the liberal arts as a central part of a larger and more robust model of classical education. It recovers the means by which classical educators developed more than just intellectual virtue (by means of the seven liberal arts) but holistically cultivated the mind, body, will, and affections.

AWAKENING WONDER
C.S. Lewis observed how modern education was changing our conception of what it means to be human. By cutting off students from the transcendent values of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, modern schools ceased cultivating virtue in students and instead communicated a mechanistic vision of the world that viewed students as products to be engineered. With Awakening Wonder, Dr. Steve Turley demonstrates that precisely such a recovery is at the heart of the current classical education renewal. Teachers will also learn how to incorporate these values into their teaching to awaken awe and wonder in both themselves and their students. Sale: $7.95 (reg. $9.95)
