Summary

Children at Work: 4 Classic Books on Child Labor is an evocative anthology that delves into the profound and multifaceted issue of child labor through a classic lens. These collected works explore the grim realities faced by working children, evocatively blending narrative, analysis, and historical documentation to challenge and inform. While each piece stands alone in its literary and stylistic identity, collectively, they form a compelling mosaic that transcends mere storytelling to provoke thought and empathy. The anthology emphasizes the universal and enduring nature of this social issue, with standout pieces offering vivid depictions that linger in the reader’s mind, underscoring the complex interplay between innocence and exploitation. The anthology draws together the voices of authors like Frederic Kenyon Brown, R. R. Lutz, Alphonse Daudet, and John Spargo, who contribute rich, diverse perspectives to the dialogue on child labor. Their collective works span a historical continuum from the industrial age to more contemporary reflections, each author bringing their distinctive background to bear on the theme. The writers’ varied experiences and insights offer windows into the socio-economic and cultural forces that have shaped attitudes towards child labor across different eras, enhancing the anthology’s richness and depth. For readers keen on exploring the theme of child labor from a classical perspective, Children at Work: 4 Classic Books on Child Labor provides an invaluable resource. This anthology offers not only a panoramic view of historical injustices but also facilitates an engaging dialogue across time and place about children's roles in society. Through its carefully curated collection, it invites readers to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that remain, all the while fostering a deeper understanding of an issue that continues to resonate. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in historical or social studies and those passionate about human rights, making it a significant educational tool and a catalyst for continued discussion.

    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
Fine, then. Let's put this soap to good use. And what better use than to re-visit my old schoolmates and see what they've been up to. And maybe some will be up for some soapy, soapy lesbian love. I'll provide the toys, of course. Not gonna show up empty handed, right?  
And so in the fourth part of Soap Magic, this trip down memory lane is paved with sweet, sticky lesbian juices, less sweet, but still sticky anal probing and quite possibly more than two lesbians at one time, if I was counting correctly. Which I may not have. Look, things got heated, is all I'm sayin'.

    Greece Against Rome - The Fall...

    The acclaimed ancient world historian examines the centuries-long decline of Greek powers in the face of the growing Roman threat. 
 
 
 
Towards the middle of the third century BC, the Hellenistic kingdoms were near their peak. In terms of population, economy, and military power, each was vastly superior to Rome, not to mention in fields such as medicine, architecture, science, philosophy, and literature. But over the next two and a half centuries, Rome would eventually conquer these kingdoms while adopting so much of Hellenistic culture that the resultant hybrid is known as "Graeco-Roman." 
 
 
 
In Greece Against Rome, Philip Matyszak relates this epic tale from the Hellenistic perspective. At first, the Romans appear to be little more than another small state in the barbarian west as the Hellenistic powers are consumed by war amongst themselves. It is a time of assassinations, double crosses, dynastic incest, and warfare. By the time they turn their attention to Rome, it is already too late.

    We love God. We love our country. What does it look like to love each properly and well?National tensions are at a record high. People on all points in the political spectrum care deeply about their country, although they differ wildly in their opinions about what it looks like to serve that country well. As Christians, we love God and seek to follow him. At the same time, nothing shapes us and tugs at our loyalties quite like the place we live. And of course we are regularly encouraged to pledge our allegiance to our country―or particular understandings of it. Who wins when the priorities of God and our country clash?In Kingdom and Country, a collection of leading Christian thinkers and practitioners take a holistic approach to considering the questions of patriotism, nationalism, and where our ultimate loyalties must like. Contributors include Alejandro Mandes, Juliet Liu, Ryan Tafilowski, Derek Vreeland, Rod Wilson, Michelle Reyes, Amanda Smith, Karen Wilk, Sean Palmer, and Tina BoeschKingdom and Country is the second in a series of Kingdom Conversations, books that bring together trusted Christian voices to address some of the most urgent and perplexing challenges of our time in timeless and redemptive ways.
