In an ongoing effort to strengthen the TJEd community, the Thomas Jefferson Education Consortium is pleased to announce the addition of a monthly newsletter to our services — The TJEd Times. Once a month, maybe twice if there’s a lot going on, we’ll send you all the news we can find to help you in your quest for Leadership Education. Each edition is absolutely packed with information to keep you up-to-date with what’s going on in the TJEd world and inspire you on to leadership and greatness yourself.
Here are just a few of the features you’ll find in our premier issue.
We want the TJEd Times to spread as far and wide as possible. The larger our community grows, the more opportunities for leadership are created (this is about Leadership Education, after all) and the more we can inspire each other on to true greatness. In the end, this has an impact on the very freedom of our society.
Because we really want you to be part of this community, we’re offering you a free gift just for signing up. It’s just a token of our friendship and commitment to serve you.
We all know that a world-class education starts with reading the classics—coming face to face with greatness, and letting some of that greatness rub of on us. This is the way the statesmen of the past have been trained through all of history. This is what TJEd is all about.
But sometimes just reading a classic can seem like a daunting task, especially when you have a hard time getting your hands on the book. If you’re like us, the classics you want are usually already checked out at the public library (that’s what happens when you start a TJEd group in your city), especially if there’s an upcoming seminar or book discussion. And if both husband and wife are trying to study the same classic, things get even harder. So a few years ago, when Rachel was hosting the Face to Face with Greatness Seminar #1 put on by George Wythe College, I put together a digital version of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, so that the participants would have one less book to worry about finding. Now we’re offering this e-book to you.
You can read the whole thing on your computer, or better yet, print out a chapter at a time and carry it around with you. It’s great for reading in the back yard under a tree after lunch, or when you find you have a few extra minutes at an appointment or in the bathroom. Whatever works best for you, and you can mark up your own copy to your heart’s content.
Just fill out the form below with your first name and the e-mail address you check most often, and then click the submit button. You’ll then be asked to verify your subscription, after which you’ll be sent a welcome letter detailing how to download your free copy of Jane Eyre. All of this takes place in just a few seconds, so you can be reading one of our favorite classics in a matter of minutes.
