Millstones & Stumbling Blocks: Understanding Education in Post-Christian America, by Bradley Heath, is our featured book. It offers a bracing critique of American education and evangelicalism with the intent of helping Christians connect the dots between school, church, & culture -- familiar topics that often defy our interest and attention. Familiarity, however, does not guarantee understanding anymore than stargazing assures knowledge of planetary motion or recognition of the constellations.

 
Millstones & Stumbling Blocks addresses these ordinary things (school, church, & culture) in an extraordinary way. It is not a stuffy academic meditation; it is provocative, irreverent (to the reigning cultural gods), and passionate. In short, it is a challenging exposé of America's educational and evangelical status quo. It is written with honesty, humor, and hope, which is the same way one should read it.

Of course, to find the educational North Star you’ll actually have to read it. You may purchase Millstones & Stumbling Blocks from the publisher Fenestrabooks, from Amazon.com, or you may order a copy from any bookstore (ISBN: 1-58736-556-1).

Bruce Shortt has written an exhaustive summary of the ills of modern public schooling. Consider this book to be the Physician's Desk Reference of public schooling.  Clear, comprehensive, and extensively researched and documented, Shortt does indeed tell the harsh truth about public schooling. The only thing harsher than the truth, is ignorance about public schooling.
