Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every boy's destiny is manhood. The Young Men's Manual will help boys arrive there. The Crossing Rite of Passage from Boyhood to Manhood trains boys to become Christian men of character and faith. The Young Men's Manual is a companion book to The Mentor's Manual for the fathers and mentors. Each father and mentor needs a copy of The Mentor's Manual, while each boy needs his own copy of the Young Men's Manual. Just as Major League Baseball players never start a new season without spring training-neither should boys. Yet most boys start their adult lives as men without a day of training on manhood. Boys need mentoring more than ever today to prepare them as men. They need training to build character qualities like commitment, responsibility, and self-control. Throughout time and throughout the world, rites of passage have transformed boys into men through training and ritual. Post-modern culture no longer offers this training. Boys are on their own today, and millions of them are drifting toward a shipwreck in their lives, relationships and future marriages. Boys are falling behind girls in education at every level. 42% of college and graduate students are male today. Boys are twice as likely to abuse alcohol, three times more likely to be drug addicts, and five times more likely to kill themselves. Pornography is one more addiction. With fatherlessness at epidemic levels, boys of every race and social level are more desperate than ever for belonging and guidance from older men. 85% of men in prison are fatherless sons. Their hurt, anger and lack of moral guidance put them behind bars-two million of them. If only they had been mentored and loved by older men. Prisons would be emptied in half. The fatherless cycle would also be broken. The Crossing Rite of Passage from Boyhood to Manhood: Young Men's Manual, includes most of the content of the Mentor's Manual, and more. Both Manuals include; A History of Male Rites of Passage, Six Lessons in Manhood, A Code of Honor, Good Deed Project, Your Role in God's Epic History, Outdoor Adventure Challenge, Initiation into Manhood Fire Ceremony, worksheets and reviews. Like the Jewish Bar Mitzvah, the ages for the boys' training can start at thirteen, but the training applies to all boys up to seventeen-any time before graduation from high school. While a father and son can read through these books together, a Mentor Team of five to seven fathers is recommended to train a small group of boys. Manhood is every boy's destiny. This training program will set them on course to get there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major League Baseball players never start a new season without spring training. Neither should boys. Yet most boys start their adult lives as men without a day of training on manhood. Boys need mentoring more than ever today to become men of character, faith and self-control. They need training to build character qualities like commitment, responsibility, integrity and service. They need caring men and fathers that will invest their time and effort to coach and mentor them into manhood. Throughout time and throughout all cultures on earth, rites of passage have transformed boys into men through training and ritual. Post-modern culture no longer offers this vital training. Boys are on their own today, and millions of them are drifting south toward a shipwreck in their lives, relationships and future marriages. Boys are falling behind girls in all education levels. They numb their pain inside with addictions to alcohol, drugs, porn and sex. And with fatherlessness at epidemic levels, boys of every race and social level are desperate for belonging and guidance with older men. The Crossing Rite of Passage gives boys the training, coaching and belonging they need from caring men in their lives. The book offers a complete spring training for manhood. The Mentor's Manual equips a Mentor Team of caring fathers and men with everything they need to build their boys into great Christian men. Each Mentor needs a copy of this Mentor's Manual along with the companion copy of the Young Men's Manual for each boy. Both manuals include; A History of Male Rites of Passage, Six Mentor Lessons in Manhood, A Code of Honor, Good Deed Project, Knowing the Christian Faith, Outdoor Adventure Challenge, Initiation into Manhood Fire Ceremony, and much more. Like the Jewish Bar Mitzvah, the ages of the boys can start at thirteen, but the training applies to all boys up to seventeen. All boys need this Rite of Passage before they graduate from high school. Invite some other men and fathers to get a group of boys together of the same ages. If you feel unprepared to be a Mentor, don't worry. The Mentor's Manual has three structured lessons just for the Mentor Team to equip themselves before training the boys. Both the men and the boys will grow in their faith and character from their training. Manhood is every boy's destiny. The Crossing Rite of Passage will set boys on course to arrive there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Stone effects a return to gender, after many years of neglect by Twenty-First-Century critics, via a methodology of close reading that foregrounds moments of sexual decentering and disequilibrium within the text and in the interstices of the dialogue between Shakespeare and his critics. Issues addressed range from the cross dressing of Viola and Imogen to the cross gartering of Malvolio, the sound of "un" and the uncanny lyric narcissism of Richard II, Hamlet’s misogyny, androgyny, and the poison of marital/political "union," Othello’s fears of impotence, rumors of Antony’s emasculation versus the militant yet nurturing triumphalism of Cleopatra’s suicide, and Posthumus’s hysterical reaction to the "woman’s part" in himself and his compensatory fantasies of parthenogenesis. Stone unpacks ideologically powerful but unsustainable male claims to self-identity and sameness, set over against man’s type-gendering of women as the origin of divisive sexual difference, discord, and the dissolution of marriage. Men who blame women for the difference that divides and weakens their sense of unity and sameness to oneself are unconscious that the uncanny feminine is not outside the masculine, its reassuring canny opposite; it is inside the masculine, its uncanny difference from itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Daily Sip of Joy and Peace, Eleanor Hooks assures us that joy and peace are always present in our lives, in spite of daily challenges and failed attempts to make sense out of the pain and suffering. Each daily essay is a sip -- a small, soothing elixir much like a calming cup of tea. With the authors guidance, we explore our relationship with a powerful presence; learn the importance of kindness and compassion; appreciate and honor all livings things; and set aside all worries and fears. We explore what it means to work with integrity, and to value the creative energy we all have within us. We learn to notice how love shows up for us and through us, and to ultimately become aware that nothing is lacking in our lives. Eleanor Hooks shares lovingly her insights into the nature of joy and peace, and invites you to enjoy the daily sips.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers Jungian perspectives on social constructions of gender difference and explores how these feed into adult ways of relating within male-female relationships. Phil Goss places this discussion within an archetypal context drawing on the fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk to consider the deep tension in western culture between the transcendent masculine and the immanent feminine. Offering both developmental and socio-cultural frameworks, areas of discussion include: the use of story and myth to understand gender Jungian and post-Jungian approaches: updating anima/animus working clinically with men, and with women the developmental pathways of gender difference power relations between men and women in the home. Men, Women and Relationships – A Post-Jungian Approach will be a valuable resource for all those with an interest in analytical psychology including psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and counsellors, as well as those in the broader fields of social work and education who have an interest in gender difference and identity.

Book excerpt: Media Rituals rethinks our accepted concepts of ritual behaviour for a media-saturated age. It connects ritual directly with questions of power, government, and surveillance and explores the ritual space which the media construct and where their power is legitimated. Drawing on sociological and anthropological approaches to the study of ritual, Couldry applies the work of theorists such as Durkheim, Bourdieu and Bloch to a number of important media arenas: the public media event; reality TV; Webcam sites; talk shows and docu-soaps; media pilgrimages; the construction of celebrity. In a final chapter, he imagines a different world where the media's ritual power is less, because the possibilities of participation in media production are more evenly shared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A folklorist who taught as a civilian professor at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, for seven years, Carol Burke analyzes the military as an occupational folk group, arguing that every detail of military culture-from the "high and tight" haircut to the chants sung in basic training-is laden with significance.Exploring the minute ways that "the cult of masculinity" persists in all branches of the United States military today, Burke unearths fascinating details and offers eye-opening anecdotes about basic training, military dress and speech, the history of the marching chant, the disdain some veterans still harbor for Jane Fonda, and the colorful-and sometimes questionable-rituals of military manhood.Postulating that culture is made--not born--Burke urges the military to consciously change its policy of "gendered apartheid" so it can evolve into the gender-, race-, and sexuality-neutral democratic institution it needs to be.
