Say and Seal
Anna Bartlett Warner (1827-1915) was an American writer and author of several hymns and religious songs for children. The best known of her songs is almost certainly Jesus Loves Me, This I Know; however some stanzas of this were written by David Rutherford McGuire. She wrote some books jointly with her sister Susan Warner (Elizabeth Wetherell) and also wrote under the pseudonym Amy Lothrop. Amongst her other works are Ellen Montgomery's Bookshelf (1856), Casper (1856), Pond Lily Stories (1857), Hard Maple (1859), The Golden Ladder (1863), The Carpenter's Daughter (1864), Little Jack's Four Lessons (1869), Wych Hazel (1876), Tired Church Members (1881) and Daisy (1885). Susan Bogert Warner (1819-1885), was an American evangelical writer of religious fiction, children's fiction, and theological works. She wrote, under the name of Elizabeth Wetherell thirty novels, many of which went into multiple editions. However, her first novel, The Wide, Wide World (1850), was the most popular. Other works include: Queechy (1852), The Law and the Testimony (1853), The Hills of the Shatemuc (1856), The Old Helmet (1863), and Melbourne House (1864).
Protecting Children
The state is increasingly experienced as both intrusive and neglectful, particularly by those living in poverty, leading to loss of trust and widespread feelings of alienation and disconnection. Against this tense background, this innovative book argues that child protection policies and practices have become part of the problem, rather than ensuring children’s well-being and safety. Building on the ideas in the best-selling Re-imagining child protection and drawing together a wide range of social theorists and disciplines, the book: • Challenges existing notions of child protection, revealing their limits; • Ensures that the harms children and families experience are explored in a way that acknowledges the social and economic contexts in which they live; • Explains how the protective capacities within families and communities can be mobilised and practices of co-production adopted; • Places ethics and human rights at the centre of everyday conversations and practices.
Jesus Loves Me
There are few songs more recognizable to the Christian believer than Anna B. Warner's beloved hymn, "Jesus Loves Me." The simple yet eloquent lyric states the basic elements of faith both plainly and succinctly; within the three title words are found the tenets of Christianity. Now, by examining this beloved hymn verse by verse, including the little known second and third stanzas, Calvin Miller seeks to remind believers of the clear and abiding truths found within this child's rhyme. In doing so, he establishes the song as a creed by which busy Christian adults can live and grow.

The Work of the Dead
The meaning of our concern for mortal remains—from antiquity through the twentieth century The Greek philosopher Diogenes said that when he died his body should be tossed over the city walls for beasts to scavenge. Why should he or anyone else care what became of his corpse? In The Work of the Dead, acclaimed cultural historian Thomas Laqueur examines why humanity has universally rejected Diogenes's argument. No culture has been indifferent to mortal remains. Even in our supposedly disenchanted scientific age, the dead body still matters—for individuals, communities, and nations. A remarkably ambitious history, The Work of the Dead offers a compelling and richly detailed account of how a...
