Passing the Torch - An Apology for Classical Christian Education

Louis Markos

Beschreibung

What is the purpose and meaning of classical education?
Imagine a world where education isn't just about information transfer but about shaping the soul, where students are nurtured to become virtuous, morally self-regulating citizens. Passing the Torch makes an energetic case for the critical role of classical Christian education in today's world. From the pre-Christian musings of Plato to the modern reflections of C. S. Lewis, Passing the Torch intertwines the wisdom of diverse epochs to argue for an educational renaissance grounded in classical Christian values.
Passing the Torch takes educators and parents on a literary and philosophical pilgrimage that includes:

- Bibliographic Essays: Each essay serves as a gateway to key texts and influential thinkers, making it an invaluable guide for educators and homeschooling parents alike.
- Close Readings: Delve into thoughtful examinations of pivotal figures such as Augustine, Rousseau, and Dorothy Sayers offering an intimate understanding of the moral and educational imperatives they championed.
- Passionate Advocacy: Passing the Torch ignites a fervor for the value and necessity of classical Christian education that is both infectious and inspiring.
In an era where educational paradigms often prioritize technological proficiency over moral formation, Passing the Torch is a call to return to the roots of classical Christian education.
"Reflecting on the writings of literary and philosophical giants from Plato and Augustine to C.S. Lewis and Dorothy Sayers, Markos makes a strong case for the benefits of classical education over the modern public education system." – Library Journal Review, April 2025

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
A Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving tells the story of the narrator's profound relationship with Owen Meany, a small, unusual boy with an unwavering faith. The narrative follows their lives from childhood in Gravesend, New Hampshire, through their time at Gravesend Academy. The story delves into themes of faith, loss, and destiny, as the narrator grapples with the events surrounding his mother’s death, which involved a baseball hit by Owen, and how it shapes his understanding of life. Owen's distinctive voice and his unique perspective on religion are a constant source of both conflict and inspiration for the narrator. The story also examines the narrator's family history and his religious journey, while Owen's unwavering faith and strong convictions are presented as a sharp contrast. The novel explores themes of religious belief, the impact of the past on the present, and the struggle to find meaning in the face of tragedy.

Meditation for Seniors - Sleep...

Hunter Mackenzie

What if I told you there was a simple process backed by science which you can do in as little as 20 minutes a day which will lower your stress levels, improve your decision-making skills and relieve your anxiety?  
  
This Process is Meditation. 
  
Your audio book is about 3 hours long. I will be presenting the basics of several well-known and trusted meditation practices in overview form. Together we will also be doing some basic exercises. They are similar to one another, but they are not identical. My intention is you get a feeling of the simplicity of them, and how natural it is for you to do the things involved in them. Our body always tell us what is best for us; we are here to retrain ourselves to listen to it. If that is all we learn from this audiobook, then we have learned a great deal. Meditation is not a philosophy; it is a practice. With meditation you're not trying to turn off your thoughts or to expunge feelings. You learn to observe them without judgment. And ultimately to better understand them. With practice, meditation will bring you to the realization you are not your thoughts or feelings; meditation frees you if you've been chained by your thoughts. By simply connecting with and being more aware of yourself, you develop the amazing ability to handle stress, improve your health and increase your intellect.
