As parents, we often have a pretty good idea of what we don't want our children to learn. But what exactly should we give them instead?

Look Inside the Book

The authors of Repairing the Ruins, a group of experienced teachers and school administrators, faced this same question when they first embarked on the journey of education. They found a tried and true answer in classical Christian education. Here they explain what makes classical Christian education different from modern methods and why it offers a distinctly Christian alternative. Building upon this foundation, the authors provide parents with the "Whys and Hows" of the Trivium, tips on planning curriculum, wisdom in designing education to serve the heart as well as the mind, and advice on starting up schools.

For all who have ever wondered where to begin with their children's education, Repairing the Ruins comes alongside with words of comfort and direction. This collection is edited by Douglas Wilson, and includes essays from Tom Garfield, Chris Schlect, Douglas Jones, and Tom Spencer, as well as an introduction by Marlin Detweiler.

What People Are Saying:

"Repairing the Ruins offers a complete classical educators conference in a single book. The advice and inspiration gleaned from each essay encourages teachers and parents to confidently lead their students in the great classical conversations of Christendom. Math, Language, Science, and Logic, when studied well, provide Christians with the tools needed to repair our ruined culture while recovering the ability to love God with our whole minds." -Leigh Bortins, President of Classical Conversations

Good, convenient and portable printer
Color: Green, Color: Green
This printer works great for my needs. The battery life has been good and the printer app functionality has worked without any issues. For me it is very easy to use and understand so overall I think it is a good, portable and convenient printer. However my one ad only issue is the labels get stuck and causes an error about 80% of the time meaning the label won’t print out unless I open it and realign it perfectly. That is a pain! I am contemplating returning it for a new one to see if it is just a design flaw or a printer issue so I am rating it 4 stars.

I’m officially old now, but at least my stuff is organized. (A truly im-press-ive gadget).
Color: Green
I hit 30 recently, and apparently, my birthday present from the universe was a sudden, overwhelming urge to organize my garage and pantry. I bought this Nelko P21 to help with the transition into full adulthood, and honestly, it’s been a blast to use. Setting it up was surprisingly painless. You just download the app on your phone, turn on Bluetooth, and it connects almost instantly. The app itself is straightforward—you don't need a tech degree to figure out how to change the fonts, add borders, or even insert little icons. Since it's a thermal printer, you never have to buy ink or deal with messy cartridges, which is a massive plus for me because I would absolutely find a way to spill it. The machine itself is tiny, basically the size of a couple of smartphone decks stacked together, so it doesn't take up any room in a drawer. The labels print fast, the text is sharp, and the adhesive on the tape that comes with it holds up well on plastic storage bins and glass jars. My only minor complaint is that the app forces you to look at a ton of font options, and a lot of them are locked behind a subscription or paywall, but the free, basic fonts are more than enough to label a box of spare cables or spice jars. If you've reached the stage of life where clean storage containers bring you joy, this thing is worth every penny.

Didn’t Expect to Use It This Much, Now I Reach for It Daily
Color: Black, Color: Black
I originally bought this label maker for a few simple tasks, but it quickly turned into something I use almost every day. As someone who manages multiple locations and stays organized across different responsibilities, having a quick and reliable way to label and categorize items makes a bigger impact than you’d think and this does exactly that. What stands out: Quick setup and easy Bluetooth connection. Compact design that’s easy to keep within reach. Clear, professional-looking labels. App gives enough flexibility without being complicated, allows you to create QR codes as well as functioning barcodes. One thing to note: There’s a short learning curve with the app, but nothing that slows you down after the first couple uses. Bottom line: If you value organization and efficiency, this is one of those small tools that quietly improves how you operate day to day.

Perfect Label Maker
Color: White
I wasn’t expecting to love a label maker this much, but this thing has been incredibly useful. It’s easy to set up, simple to use, and prints clear, professional-looking labels every time. The print quality is sharp and the labels stick really well without peeling off.

Very much needed!
Color: Pink
This label maker is super cute and very easy to use. The Bluetooth connection worked quickly with my phone and the app has plenty of templates and font options for organizing around the house and office. The labels print clearly, and the compact size makes it convenient to store anywhere. The pink color is also a nice touch and looks great on my desk!
