About the author

Charlotte Mason, a renowned British educator, lived during the turn of the 20th century. She turned the idea of education being something of utilitarian necessity into an approach based upon living ideas. She believed that education is "an atmosphere, a discipline, a life" and a "science of relations." Her methods are embraced around the world today, especially among the homeschool community.

I'm reading the Hardcover edition from Riverbend Press Foreward Nancy Kelly ISBN 9780990425489 not available on GoodReads

Finished 8/2/23 and I really enjoyed reading this; there were some interesting and convicting passages and it was a good way of meditating on the Gospel of John. I enjoyed the extra essays and content in the back as well.

Started this book and then took a long break while I worked through Augustine’s City of God. It was fun to imagine being a teacher-in-training at Scale Howe while reading these meditations with Charlotte Mason herself on Sunday evenings. I was exhorted now and know I would have been exhorted then. I also loved the essays and meditations that Nancy Kelly chose to put in the back!
