TRAIN: Classical Christian Education & Jonathan Edwards

Author-narrated audiobook of TRAIN: Classical Christian Education & Jonathan Edwards by Stephanie Boss (JESociety, 2026). Available now at https://shop.jesociety.org/b/QkFLv and also on Amazon.com. What is classical Christian education? What does it truly mean to train? Who was Jonathan Edwards? And what do these three have in common? This book brings together classical Christian education, spiritual formation, and the theology of Jonathan Edwards. Written as a short, encouraging primer, it aims to strengthen and equip teachers with timeless tools for shaping the next generation. Part story, part practical guide, it begins with the author's surprising journey into teaching and classical education. It then explores ten proven pedagogies from Edwards' time that still work today, followed by actionable resources, book lists, pitfalls to avoid, and tips to help teachers thrive on the journey. Like lembas bread for weary educators — short, nourishing, and full of wisdom.
