THE LOST TOOLS OF LEARNING was originally given as a talk by Dorothy Sayers at Oxford University in 1947 on the benefits of a classical education for children. It is great brief introduction to the advantages of a classical education.

THE MIND OF THE MAKER is a book which examines the Early Christian Creeds, which were written as statements of faith in defense against heresies. These creeds were carefully written to keep the true Gospel message alive and well for future generations.

What must a person believe to be a Christian? In this collection of 16 essays, famed author Dorothy L. Sayers discusses why the church desperately needs to refocus on doctrine, as doctrine impacts all of life.

In her dynamic and sharp writings, Dorothy L. Sayers turned the popular perception of Christianity on its head. She argues that the essence of Christianity is in the character of Christ--energetic, dramatic, and utterly alive. This collection of sixteen brilliant essays reveals Sayers, at her best--a powerful view of Christianity as startling and relevant as it was 50 years ago.

An outspoken defender of Christian orthodoxy, Dorothy L. Sayers discusses Christian theology with brilliance and wit. A British scholar, author, and staunch Christian, Sayers brings theology vividly to life by showing how the Bible, history, literature, and modern science fit together to make religion not only possible but necessary in our time. Each essay is a concise, perceptive examination of the topic at hand. The book:

• Includes sixteen essays on a variety of topics addressing core beliefs, the image of God, the problem of sin and evil, and more
• Presents age-old doctrines without prettying them up or watering them down
• Provides insights into the social and spiritual forces that affect the modern-day cultural shift away from Christ

Whether you are reading the great works of Western literature, thinking about your place in God's universe, or simply dealing with the thousand-and-one problems of daily living, this powerful book has words of both challenge and comfort for you.

The devil should stand alert, for Sayers is one of his foremost adversaries.

English author and poet Dorothy L. Sayers, is known widely for her mystery series that features Lord Peter Wimsey, a witty detective who solves crimes after World War I. In her popular 1923 novel Whose Body? Wimsey makes his debut before continuing as the main character for eleven novels and two short stories.

In Whose Body? a naked man is found dead in a bathtub in London, with only a pair of pince-nez deliberately left on his face. Lord Peter Wimsey gets wind of this and, as a hobbyist detective in his spare time, arrives on the scene and promptly concludes that he will investigate the murder on his own. Inspector Sugg, who is head of the official investigation, believes that the body is that of a famous financier, Sir Reuben Levy, who has gone missing. Inspector Charles Parker, a friend of Wimsey's, leads the investigation of Sir Reuben Levy. While it becomes clear that the two mysteries are unconnected, Wimsey joins Inspector Parker on his hunt for Levy. Together, Wimsey and Parker find themselves with both hot trails and dead ends, with their leads ranging from prostitutes to medical students. However, if they don't get some solid answers soon, they might end up murdered in a London bathtub themselves.

Known as one of the genre's most brilliant, beloved characters, Lord Peter Wimsey is undoubtedly a man you can forget, and Whose Body? is just the start of his story. Whose Body? is a classic mystery with a twist, featuring bold characters and events that even lovers of mystery and crime novels won't be able to see coming. With Sayers honest themes, magical writing, and wicked clever plot, Whose Body? is a must read.
