How the Study of Classical Rhetoric Can Help in Modern Business

Tertullian famously asked, "What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?", suggesting that Christians had no need of philosophy. He, of course, ended up entangled with heresy. Modern men often ask a similar question, "What does the study of the classical liberal arts have to do with modern business?"In this talk, Mr. William C. Michael of the Classical Liberal Arts Academy answers that questions with a discussion of the relation between the modern sales process used in marketing and sales and the parts of an oration taught in classical Rhetoric by Cicero (106-43 BC) the famous Roman philosopher and statesmen.-------------Join us for classical Catholic studies in the Classical Liberal Arts Academy.

The Best Catholic Homeschool Program

Catholic homeschooling parents undertake nothing short of heroic work when they choose to educate their children privately. Most are motivated by the fear of the Lord and the sense of accountability they feel for the care of their children's bodies--and souls. Finding study materials and help to succeed in this work is difficult and the costs of such can be impossible to bear. These are great challenges that parents should not need to bear.Fortunately, the Classical Liberal Arts Academy not only allows Catholic parents to provide their children with an accredited Catholic education at home, but allows them to introduce their children to the same studies that have been enjoyed by saints and wise men throughout history--the classical Catholic curriculum.Even better, the Classical Liberal Arts Academy offers these great studies to Catholics of all ages through a Student Plan that costs only $25 per month, and a maximum of $100 per month for the whole family!To learn more about how Catholic parents can actually provide their children (and themselves) with access to over 100 self-paced courses with study materials, assessments, grading, record-keeping and expert support all included, visit the Academy at: https://classicalliberalarts.com.Some say it looks too good to be true but, by God's grace, it's true.+++++++Mr. William C.

A RESOURCE CATHOLICS CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO HAVE

It's rare to find a resource that offers great value at very little cost. Making great value available at low cost to those who benefit from it requires careful planning, personal sacrifice and patience.

Offering students of all ages access to an accredited classical Catholic study program, featuring over 100 courses, with study materials, assessments, grading, record-keeping and support all included is nothing short of amazing. In fact, we believe it's a resource that no Catholic can afford NOT to have and make use of today.+++++++Mr. William C. Michael, O.P.HeadmasterClassical Liberal Arts Academy
