What is a Classical Liberal Arts Education? Why is it so important for the development of a person?
Fr. Juan R. Vélez answers these and more questions you might have about University Education in the 21st century. This book is aimed for parents, prospective University students, and educators. It will help you discern why adding Liberal Arts electives to your education will help it form it better, and help the student learn to reason, and not just learn.
He also explains how many Universities have changed the true meaning of Liberal Arts, and the subjects, and gives advise on how to choose College Campus, Subjects, and Teachers.
A wonderful book that every parent should also read way before your children are College bound. A Liberal Arts education can start earlier in life, even from home.

The saints live in sackcloth, and they are buried in jewels.
Dominic Barberi and John H. Newman were united in their mutual quest for the virtues of personal humility, charity and good humor.
To us has been entrusted the vocation of conquering souls for Christ and of transforming society.
In the chapel with walls adjacent to Newman’s bedroom, still bearing the red brocade of Newman’s day, the sisters preserve his rosary.
One could imagine him ... composing one of his many famous scripture laden sermons of the Anglican period.
Grace is that new law by which we obey the law of Christ in faith, on trust.
Do we love the Word of God or do we take it for granted?
