Catholic Homeschooling: Chesterton Classes and Free Books
What goes better together than homeschooling and G.K.Chesterton?! If you’re new to Gilbert Keith Chesterton, he is one of the most-quoted authors of the 20th century. He was a man of incredible genius who was loved even by those who vehemently disagreed with him. As Dale Ahlquist once wrote, “There’s a goodness that just exuded from him… The people who violently disagreed with Chesterton on the issues were drawn to him as a person because of his charity.”
At Homeschool Connections, we offer a wide variety of courses on Chesterton’s books and on the man himself. Our online Catholic homeschool courses on Chesterton are taught by such Chestertonians as Dale Ahlquist, Joseph Pearce, Kevin O’Brien, and others.
