We are developing this bookstore, with its accompanying color print catalog, to make the knowledge path through each professional curriculum: exceedingly obvious, very practically accomplished, Biblically inspiring, and as enjoyable as entertainment. New departments, books, equipment, and supplies are introduces as students apply for them.
Parents: Reward your college students by giving them equipment and supplies to further their learning and inspire their diligence! Imagine, a college education for the price of the books, equipment, and supplies! Students: Ask your parents to help provide you with lots of books, equipment, and supplies. In the end, you will own the equivalent of your own college library and laboratory, since you won't need to support another institution!

Here are important facts you must know about well-intentioned counselors who are more committed to political correctness than to students’ physical and psychological safety—written clearly and passionately by a dedicated psychiatrist. This book tells all.

How could the so-called caring professions ostensibly dedicated to student welfare have collapsed so completely in the face of pressure from a particularly hurtful and wanton cultural fashion? This is surely one of the most important questions of our age, and it underlies this generous, tender, lively, angry book—written by a therapist who has fought her way through the dangerous pieties of her profession and whose newfound hope is everybody's hope as well.
Book Description
Why do we put so many resources into medicine, education and law with so little apparent benefit? Why do we hold the professions in awe and allow them to set up what are in effect monopolies? This fascinating and controversial collection of essays challenges the power and the mystique of the modern professions.
As you know I have been thinking of the concept of leisure and its connection to education for the last 8 months. The more I think on it the stronger the tie becomes. Because learning is hard work, the learner must have time (leisure) to assimilate. That is why entertainment is the antithesis of leisure. Entertainment pulls the learner away from contemplation, keeping him too busy to learn. If the entertainment industry is any indication, our culture has plenty of time. We could be a very educated culture but instead we have traded our time for entertainment rather than leisure. This, I think, is the natural outcome of Enlightenment thinking which puts originality ahead of craftsmanship.
In his character sketch of Bach, Glory and Honor , Greg Wilbur says,
” Emulation of the classics provided a firm foundation in what was excellent and a model on which to base new creative work. This concept also reflected the medieval and Baroque concept that craftsmanship was of greater importance than originality-a view contradicting that held by the emerging secular Enlightenment, which placed individuality and originality above all else.”
