This is not an immediately accessible book, but if you put on your thinking cap it will yield rich rewards.

You can read more about the book and purchase it

Beauty for Truth\u2019s Sake<\/span>\u00a0argues that beauty, truth and love must be at the heart of all education for education to reach it\u2019s highest goal. Rather than simply being a vocational training for a value-free world, education teaches the student not only to think, but to perceive beauty and truth within the context of faith.<\/p>\n
