The Cause - Rob Pirie
Please join me in embarking on the Harvard Classics Series by Dr. Charles Elliot. This series dates back to around 1910 and is a collection of literature that I believe needs to be revived and rediscovered. I look forward to reading and discussing all 50 volumes with you as we learn about the great ideas of those who came before us. In this series, we will dive into Greek and Roman history, the American Founders, works from Francis Bacon, John Milton, and many more. We will cover Shakespeare and Chaucer and also some fictional works like Don Quixote which are all included in the Harvard Classics.
We will also review other books on this podcast that fit the classical education theme.
This series is being created for those passionate about classical education and as a supplement to homeschool curriculums. I truly hope these classical works of literature bring you as much joy as they do me.
Feel free to reach out with any questions as I would love to hear from you!

Why You Should Own A HOME LIBRARY | Personal Growth And The Safeguarding Of Knowledge
Pour a cup of hot steaming coffee, kick your feet up, and take a break with me on Tuesdays. Today we are discussing the importance of building out a home library. Personal libraries are more important than ever in today's world. Beyond the educational benefits of owning a home library, there are other more impactful reasons to create one. Between the alteration and cancellation of certain books to "political" book banning, old books are more important than ever. Next week we will discuss how to build out a home library on a budget. I hope you enjoy the video!
