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!

Allow The Book To Change You - Read To Discover Not Validate
Do you read to discover or read to validate? This is a question I have to ask myself. If you can't open your mind to a book, then what is the purpose of reading? True knowledge can only be found when we open our minds to the idea that our ideas or perspectives on the world may be flawed. In this video, I discuss why you should allow the book to change you and see things differently. I hope you enjoy it!
