49 Revealed Through Story with Joseph Pearce

AMDG. We are thrilled to welcome the keynote speaker of our portable homeschool convention: Joseph Pearce. With clear enthusiasm for the subjects he teaches, Joseph describes how God conveys the greatest lessons to us--theological, philosophical, moral, and historical--in terms of story and literature. He explains how humility gives us a sense of gratitude, gratitude opens the eyes in wonder, wonder leads us to contemplation, and contemplation dilates the mind and soul into the fullness of reality. And he reassures parents who may not have a classical education themselves: don’t be daunted and think you’re not worthy to educate your children. Resources and opportunities abound for parents to learn themselves, which in turn unites children and parents and brings their family closer together. Ultimately, Joseph explains how to have an education in the humanities is to become more fully human.  Resources (Bolded text below denotes links.)  jpearce.co  Classical Education and the Future of Civilization  Graduation 2018: Reflections from a Kolbe Family  Are Homeschools Serving as Newman Guide Prep Schools?  2018 Graduation  Literature: What Every Catholic Should Know  Have a question or suggestion for the Kolbecast team?
