Summer Giveaway (Round Two)
Enter to win now!
Hello friends of Study The Great Books,
Our summer giveaways are in full swing and we have drawn our first winner! Congratulations to Nole Johnson (one of our free subscribers who beat the odds over those paid subscriber entries) for winning the first round of our drawings. He will be receiving the STGB Annoation Edition of The Didache as well as our Study Guide for that wonderful little book. Also Nole is getting one of our Commonplace Books so he can start collecting all the wisdom of the written word! Congratulations again Nole!
The Second Giveaway (To be Drawn on June 20, 2026)
For our Second Drawing we will be giving away a copy of Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers along with our Study Guide for that book and a Starship Troopers T-Shirt (unisex, S, M, L, and XL available)!
There may be an inter-galactic bug war going on, but that’s just the background for this incredible story about a young boy becoming a man and all of the things he learned along the way from the men who poured into his life. If you’ve seen the movie…forget the movie. The book is nothing like it and 100 times better.
How to Enter
To be eligible to win you must be a current subscriber when you enter and maintain your subscription at least until your name/account is drawn. You do not have to be a paid subscriber to enter, but note that paid subscriber entries are counted twice which gives them twice as many chances to win!
You must “Like” and “Repost” this article (the one you are presently reading) to be entered into the second drawing. After the second drawing is completed there will be another article announcing the beginning of the third giveaway contest and you must like and repost that article as well to be entered into the third drawing. The same process will need to be repeated for the fourth drawing.
To be eligible to win you must agree to share a photo of yourself with your winnings that we may post on Substack (this helps reinforce the credibility of our drawings).
GET THE DISCOUNT!
From now until the end of July we are offering 15% off of our Paid Subscriptions here on Substack! Normally $5 a month or $50 dollars a year (already an incredible deal) when you become a paid subscriber between now and July 31 you can lock in your subscription for life at just $4.25 a month or $42.50 a year! You’ll gain access to our ever growing library of PDF Great Books study guides (more than 50 guides for books from the ancient, medieval, and modern world…Gilgamesh, Plato, Aristotle, Luke and Act, Athanasius, Boethius, Shakespeare, etc., etc.) as well as other curriculum pieces like our Progymnasmata Primer (Classical Writing Exercises) and access to live online book clubs and other exclusive online events.
Here is just some of what people are saying about Study The Great Books:
“Study The Great Books provides concise studies of the Great Books–fantastic for home educators who use the Classics.”
– Richard Ritenbaugh in North Carolina
“I’ve used STGB guides for my own personal study – the guide for Dracula brought out Christian themes in the novel that I hadn’t seen before. I’m currently using several guides in my middle school Humanities classroom, and I’m so thankful for the level of detail and variety of questions from all levels of the Trivium that I’ll be able to draw from in class.”
- Astrid Donovan in Georgia
“These guides are a huge help to me and worth every penny to the homeschool parent or autodidact.”
“Study The Great Books does a brilliant job of championing classical education through quality literature. Their study guides are thorough, insightful, and easy to use.”
“Jacob Allee’s Substack is informative and helpful for those teaching the Great Books and those who just want to continue learning.”
For less than $5 a month you can gain access to the Humanities curriculum we are building long before it makes it to our finalized print editions! Whether you are just interested in learning yourself, or you are homeschooling your kids, or you are a teacher in a classical Christian school, or maybe you are leading a book club in your church or community, we have the resources to help you! All for less than the price of a single Starbucks coffee once a month.
Your support keeps the work going and it also makes it possible for us to provide help to those who need it. We will always help homeschooling families undergoing financial strain (we’ve been there, we get it) or start-up schools with next to no budget. If you need out help, if you cannot afford our material, all you have to do is ask. But for those who are able to support this work with a monthly paid subscription, we thank you with all our hearts.
At STGB we believe classical Chrsitian education may be the single greatest force for good in our nation. Giving young people and adult men and women a Liberal-Arts education that is Christ-centered has the power to change the course of our nation and the world. We want everyone who wants to give or get this kind of education to have it (whether they can afford it or not).
Thank you for all of your continued support by following, liking, and sharing materials from Study The Great Books with your friends and connections! Let’s keep working together to make the world better together as we seek the face of Christ and pursue truth, goodness, and beauty through classical Christian education!
Yours in Christ,
Jacob Allee, Ph.D.
Founder and Lead Curriculum Developer
Very excited to do a Didache deep dive! Thank you again, sir!
This is a very good sci-fi book. I read it about 30 years and might need to read it again.
