Teaching the Trivium
by: Harvey & Laurie Bluedorn
Our Price: $27.00

I read this book and it is EXCELLENT! One of my
favorite aspects of this book is that it is packed with Scripture to
support the classical philosophy & approach. The Bluedorns make a
great case to homeschool your children, not bring public school to
your home.
Below is a review by Christine Miller of
www.ClassicalHomeschooling.org. Her review sums up my view of this
terrific source:
Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.00 until you have this book.
If you can only get one book on this page, make it this one. The
Bluedorns have done an excellent job explaining the Biblical
foundation of homeschooling, of Christian education, and how to apply
the Trivium to a uniquely Biblical, Christian education at home. “Long
ago, students were first taught how to learn. Today, students are
taught an encyclopedia of subjects -- trivia -- but they are not
taught the basic skills of learning: to discover, to reason, and to
apply. They are not taught the Trivium. Because we are Christians, we
do not want to pursue non-Christian goals. Classical Education must be
sifted through the critical screen of the Scriptures to be transformed
into the Biblical model.” The Biblical model is thoroughly explained
and applied throughout the book. Packed with Scripture, guides for
teaching discovering (grammar), reasoning (dialectic), and applying
(rhetoric), and many, many practical how-to’s and helps of all kinds,
with an out of this world appendix of resources, this is the
Well-Trained Mind for those that want their children to have a
uniquely and thoroughly Christian education and grounding in a
Biblical worldview (that’s all of us, right?). It is inspiring,
encouraging, and hopeful -- the Bluedorns have lived this life with
five children, the youngest of which is 17.
