Book Reviews of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home

Book Review: An absolutely fantastic guide for the home educator!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was able to read some of this book at the Virginia Homeschooler's Conference in Richmond, VA, from 17-19 June 1999. You will find it a fantastic resource to guide you in classically educating your children at home.

Susan Wise Bauer, the co-author, was classically home educated by her mother, Jessie Wise, the other co-author. Susan is living proof of the success of this classic home education philosophy! I pray that my children, who my wife and I will begin to home educate this year, are as well-educated as Susan when they leave our home. I believe if we follow the classic model as outlined in this book and continue to teach them in the ways of the LORD, they will be.
