Junto: Classic Book Discussions!
Not many of us feel great confidence in our "stellar" education, no matter how many degrees we have. You may feel under-educated and ill-equipped, but the classics hold all the keys to your self-education and open up rooms of delightful wisdom. I am recording the great discussions I have with Esther (age 14) and Adalyn (age 15) for you so you can strengthen your own intellectual courage, curiosity and delight. I would LOVE to hear from you. There is always more to discuss about a book, and I would love to hear your thoughts, your struggles, and your suggestions! Email: redeemmyeducation@gmail.com

Whether you're a die-hard mythology fan or a complete beginner, tune in to see why this classic deserves the crown. So hit play and join the conversation!
Are you tired of shallow romances and stories with no hero? Well, we are too!

We discuss the perks of YA, the worst parts about it, why Middle Grade books are so great, and how we would renovate the industry.
We get next level controversial on some takes, but have the...

Join us for our final discussion on Till We Have Faces for chapters three and four of book two! We part this book with topics like modern toxicity culture, why religious art doesn’t feel like the real deal, and how Christ is the only one who can purify us.
