The Rhetoric Companion: A Student's Guide to Power in Persuasion
As the classical movement matures, teachers and parents need more resources to carry us through rhetoric and toward the quadrivium.

It is not necessary that a teacher who writes be able to do what he teaches--but is routinely much better if he can. In this text we have authors who have learned, in fact, mastered their subject and then share the wisdom, tools, and techniques they have learned. --Marlin Detweiler, President, Veritas Press
