This is a hard update to write, and I have been putting it off. I’ve known for several days that my announcement of an August 28th release date was premature, and I am actually going to have to wait longer. I don’t mind for myself, but I have dreaded telling all of you that rather than a very near release date within this month, I am going to have to change that date to one several weeks in the future. In fact, I’m going to set a tentative date of October 25th.
I have been humbled and gratified by many of you have written to tell me how much you are looking forward to reading the book. I hate having to say that we are going to have to wait still longer, but we are, indeed, going to have to wait. The book is written and will be there to read. I apologize for having to backtrack now. The frenzy to finish the editing can now be done at leisure, and I will spare a little time to think about what I can offer to make up for the wait.
In the meantime, we have to wait together, but I am looking forward to the not-too-distant future when I will be able to share this work, the cumulative study of 20 years distilled into twelve readable chapters, with you all. Thank you for your patience, and I add again that I am more chagrined than I can say that I have to change the date.

Far better to spend more time editing than to rush it out and find things later you wish had been fixed. You’re doing well. Cheers!
Naturally we are disappointed, Karen, but we also completely understand! I have no doubt that it will be well worth the wait, and continue to look forward to it – even if it is even farther in the future. Thank you very much for letting us know, so that we can shift our expectations accordingly and patiently.
PS – I like the new look on the site:)
No doubt it will be well worth the wait 🙂 please don’t feel bad!
I’m so eager for this book! Would you consider putting the first chapter online to read? I’m teaching a CM class through a classical education provider, and I think if I had something of the book to share with the families of my students, you would have many more eager readers in October. 🙂
Still looking forward to reading it and the Lord bless this work!
I agree with Kelly. It is also a DATE, and getting closer.
