Summary

Every parent and teacher wants to give his or her children the best education possible. They hope that the teaching they provide is a joyful adventure, a celebration of life, and preparation for living. But sadly, most education today falls short of this goal.

For the Children’s Sake imagines what education can be based on a Christian understanding of the meaning of life and what it means to be human—a child, a parent, a teacher. The central ideas have been proven over many years and in almost every kind of educational situation, including ideas that author Susan Schaeffer Macaulay and her husband, Ranald, have implemented in their own family and school experience. Includes a foreword by daughter and educator Fiona Fletcher.

Just beautiful

This was such an encouraging, nourishing, grace-filled delight of a read! I’ve heard about it for years and I’m sad to think that I waited this long before reading it. The narrators voice is calming and enjoyable to listen to. Cannot recommend this book more!

Thank you!!!!

I really loved this book. I loved who read it. I am a huge fan of Charlotte Mason, but I've found the six volume set overwhelming as someone new to Charlotte Mason. this was such a beautiful introduction to Charlotte Mason: full of helpful tips, suggestions, practicality, and wisdom. I highly suggest this book to anyone new to Charlotte Mason or would just like to learn more about this amazing educator. Five stars!!!

A guide for all who interact with children

As a parent, this way of raising up and enjoying children and life together is life giving. Wonderful how truth lived out gives life abundantly. The narrator is pleasant to listen to. Please read for the sake of all children and adults alike.

Wonderful Book

One of the best homeschooling books out there. Would recommend even if you don’t homeschool but just have children or even just interact with kids.

amazing book and fantastic narration

this is a really good book, and I am happy to have stumbled upon it. the narration of this book is absolutely amazing, she does such a good job. there's another version read by a different woman and it is so robotic and awful.
