Mystery Of The Child
$30.99
Much of today’s writing on children treats the child of any age as a problem or a set of problems to be solved, effectively reducing the child to a complex of biological and chemical factors, explainable in scientific terms, or regarding children as objects of adult control. In contrast, Martin Marty here presents the child as a mystery who invokes wonder and elicits creative responses that affect the care provided him or her.
Drawing on literature as new as contemporary poetry and as old as the Bible, The Mystery of the Child encourages the thoughtful enjoyment of children instead of the imposition of adult will and control. Indeed, Marty treats the impulse to control as a problem and highlights qualities associated with children — responsiveness, receptivity, openness to wonder — that can become sources of renewal for adults.
The Mystery of the Child represents a new tack for Martin Marty — universally respected as a historian, theologian, and interpreter of religion and culture — but displays the same incisive, erudite quality marking the fifty-plus books and thousands of articles that he has previously written. Marty’s broad, thoughtful perspective will inspire readers to think afresh about what it means to be a child — and to be a caregiver.
This book is sure to claim a wide readership — parents, grandparents, schoolteachers, theologians, historians — engaging anyone wanting to explore more fully the profound realm of the child.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
