Notes I read off of:

0. Introduction

Who this book is for

Why I am writing it

1. What is a Bard?

Shakespeare

Medieval Minstrel

Dungeons and Dragons

The Celtic Wizard

Conclusion:

2. Why does your family need one?

Remind

Rejoice

Revitalize

Re-train

3. How will having a Bard in your family affect the world around you?

History will be preserved rightly

Your family will become less pessimistic.

Your family will have strength for trials and the mundane.

Your logical theology will become unshakeable by emotions.

Your family will know what came before, they will be excited for the

future, they will have the strength to face the present, and they will

be unshakeable before the world.

4. How to be your Family's Bard

Read Poetry and Fiction Aloud and often

Play Music Often

Look for opportunities to quote things they already know.

Make and Preserve a Family History

It's a lifestyle of discipleship, NOT cramming information.
