Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Toymaker's Dream is an allegory of God's plan of redemption, from creation to Christ's substitutionary death on the cross. Employing the imagery of a dream it has captured the imagination of adults and children alike, and has been published in several languages, including Polish, Hungarian, and French. Performed on stage as a drama, a musical, and mime, it tells the story of God's love in a way easy to understand. Christian parents and other caregivers are always looking for stories to share with their children that carry the message of God within them. This story is a unique way of telling children about the Bible that uses a fun, colorful dream that will interest them. This will begin many wonderful conversations between parents and children about God and the Bible. Born in South Africa in 1943, Christopher Shennan really began to live on the 29th of August 1967, when he was born again through the power of Jesus Christ. Since then, only one passion has consumed him, to communicate the love of Christ through any and every means at his disposal. As a children's evangelist, he was always searching for ways to make Bible truth understandable to the minds of children. It occurred to him that a toymaker dreaming of his toys rebelling against him, was a fitting way to convey the story of human rebellion and of God's plan of salvation. The author sends forth this new edition of The Toymaker's Dream with the prayer that God may be glorified through its publication, and that may be brought to an understanding of God's love through it."

Download or read book Potent Fictions written by Mary Hilton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's children spend more time than ever before watching television, playing computer games and reading comic and pulp fiction. Many of these are directly designed by the toy and media industry. Are children therefore simply being manipulated? There is widespread concern that because of these kinds of popular fiction, children do not read `quality' literature, resulting in lower standards of literacy. There is also the further fear that because many of these popular media portray highly stereotyped, gendered images, this too will have a damaging effect on children. Mary Hilton's fascinating book proves that there is another side to the argument. We do not have to view popular culture as a threat to our children or their education. The writers of this collection show how, used carefully alongside other types of literature, popular culture can actually help teachers to develop literacy in a broad and positive sense.

Book excerpt: In Radical Play Rob Goldberg recovers a little-known history of American children’s culture in the 1960s and 1970s by showing how dolls, guns, action figures, and other toys galvanized and symbolized new visions of social, racial, and gender justice. From a nationwide movement to oppose the sale of war toys during the Vietnam War to the founding of the company Shindana Toys by Black Power movement activists and the efforts of feminist groups to promote and produce nonsexist and racially diverse toys, Goldberg returns readers to a defining moment in the history of childhood when politics, parenting, and purchasing converged. Goldberg traces not only how movement activists brought their progressive politics to the playroom by enlisting toys in the era’s culture wars but also how the children’s culture industry navigated the explosive politics and turmoil of the time in creative and socially conscious ways. Outlining how toys shaped and were shaped by radical visions, Goldberg locates the moment Americans first came to understand the world of toys—from Barbie to G.I. Joe—as much more than child’s play.

Tozer in an easy to read format. A.W. Tozer's sharp and incisive preaching and writing style will startle some readers. Others will chuckle. But everyone will agree, "No one could say it like Tozer!"

An unnamed layman at A.W. Tozer's Southside Alliance church in Chicago once stated, "Dr. Tozer had not been with us long before we knew we had a prophet of God in our midst. It was then that we felt constrained to begin putting his Sunday morning and evening sermons on tape."

Download or read book Toy Wars written by G. Wayne Miller and published by Crown Business. This book was released on 2012-11-21 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the real toy story, an unprecedented behind-the-scenes journey through a world of influence, fantasy, and multimillion-dollar Hollywood deals, a world where the whims of children make millionaires and topple titans. This is also the story of an unusual man. Alan Hassenfeld, the chief executive officer of Hasbro, never intended to run a Fortune 500 company. A free spirit who dreamed of being a writer and exploring Asia, he was content to remain in the shadow of his older brother Stephen, a marketing genius who transformed a family firm established by immigrant Jews into powerhouse and Wall Street darling. Then tragedy struck. Stephen, and intensely private man, died of AIDS, a disease he had not acknowledged he had, even to his family. Alan Hassenfeld was named CEO, just as Hasbro was facing a daunting onslaught of challenges. Toy Wars is about Alan's struggle to balance the demands of the bottom line with his ideals about the kind of toys children deserve, as well as the ethical obligations of management. Wayne Miller, an award-winning journalist and novelist, was granted unprecedented access to Hasbro, the maker of G.I. Joe, Star Wars toys, Mr. Potato Head, Batman, Monopoly, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, and countless other favorites. For five years, he sat in on design sessions, marketing meetings, and focus groups, and interviewed employees in every part of the company. He witnessed a major corporate restructuring; crucial deal with Dreamworks SKG; a hostile takeover bid by archrival Mattel; the collapse of a $45 million virtual reality game; and the company makeover of G.I. Joe, Hasbro's flagship product and one of the most popular toys of all time. Toy Wars is filled with many colorful characters, including: Hollywood moguls Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, whose kid-friendly movies can translate into licensing gold for toymakers Mighty Morphin Power Rangers creator Haim Saban, who tapped into a popular Japanese TV series and made it a worldwide television and merchandising phenomenon Mattel CEO Jill Barad, the second-highest-paid woman in corporate America, who promotes and defends Barbie with the zeal of a religious crusader Hasbro executive Al Verrecchia, the loyal second in command who did not let friendship or tradition stand in the way of a dramatic restructuring Larry Bernstein, arguably the best toy salesman ever, a riotous raconteur whose divisional presidency crumbled when he was unable to meet Hasbro's profit goals Rich in family drama and written with sly wit, Toy Wars is a deeply compelling business story, a fascinating tour through a billion-dollar industry that exerts tremendous influence on the lives of children everywhere.
