The book that inspired the founding of Beautiful Feet Books!

An excellent text for understanding the Charlotte Mason philosophy of education. Advocating an innovative and creative approach, you will find this very helpful in crystallizing a theory of education. An engaging, practical and inspiring treatise on how to extend learning to every aspect of life, instilling in children a richness and joy for living and learning.

Every parent and teacher wants to give his or her children the best education possible. We hope that the education we provide is a joyful adventure, a celebration of life, and preparation for living. But sadly, most education today falls short of this goal.

For the Children's Sake is a book about what education can be, based on a Christian understanding of what it means to be human-to be a child, a parent, a teacher-and on the Christian meaning of life. The central ideas have been proven over many years and in almost every kind of educational situation, including ideas that Susan and Ranald Macaulay have implemented in their own family and school experience.

A true benefit to parents and teachers in any educational setting-homeschooling, public school, or private school.

This book is so inspiring. It motivated me to try my best for my kids. It helps give them a "thinking love". I love how it expressed in beautiful words what I feel in my heart about God and the children He entrusted into my care. Well worth the read.

If you read no other book on education, this is an absolute must read. The concepts are challenging and inspiring. If sending your children off to a public school setting has ever crossed your mind, read this book first. It will encourage you in the journey and affirm what you know to be Truth from God's perspective. Buy it RIGHT NOW!

As a child I was first introduced to the teachings of Charlotte Mason from my grandmother, who had been home educated with Charlotte's philosophy of education. Upon entering the 21st Century my husband and I decided we wanted to home educate our child using Charlotte's method, but needed guidance in the process. Through a friend I discovered Susan Schaeffer Macaulay's book "For the Children's Sake."In her book Susan uses a conversational tone to tell you her own story of how she came to be introduced to Charlotte Mason and her teachings. The author takes you on a journey of Charlotte's educational philosophy beginning with "What Is Education?, Children Are Born Persons, Authority and Freedom, A New Perspective, Education: A Science of Relationships, The Way of the Will, Reason and Unity of the Whole.""For the Children's Sake" is an excellent introduction to the educational philosophy of Charlotte Mason.
