Download or read book Malestrom written by Carolyn Custis James and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated and expanded—with a new foreword by Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne—Malestrom provides a redemptive vision of biblical manhood and a way through the treacherous seas of patriarchy. Like the danger of a maelstrom in the open seas, a relentless force threatens our culture, swirling with hidden currents that distorts God's image of personhood. This book reveals how the malestrom is one of the Enemy's single most successful strategies. Its victories are flashed before us every day in the headlines as men lose sight of who God created them to be. It has consumed the evangelical church that stoops to offering toxic "manly" solutions to the wrongs it perceives in society and distracts from the rich potential God has entrusted to his sons. Digging deeply into the stories of men in the Bible who subverted cultural hierarchies, Carolyn Custis James shows us how countercultural God's design for men really is. Through personal story, biblical commentary, and cultural analysis, Custis James: Makes a strong case for the unbiblical nature of patriarchy. Illuminates the sociology of marginalization and cultural gender roles. Takes a close biblical look at Jesus and what his character and humanity means to the men of the church today. Malestrom offers what we so desperately need—a biblical, global, timeless vision of godly personhood that is big enough to encompass the diversity of men's lives and strong enough to withstand the crises they face. "It is one thing to critique the abuses of a domineering masculinity and lament the religious and societal consequences, but Carolyn Custis James takes the next crucial step and offers us a better path forward. For those asking, "What now?" Malestrom serves as a sure-footed guide." —Kristin Kobes Du Mez

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary society has imposed a set of unrealistic and confusing rules for men over 18 to follow. With post-adolescent men experiencing lower rates of academic success at the post-secondary level and escalating rates of violence perpetrated by this age group, jobs, careers and life itself are in crisis. These men in transition have emotional, social, academic, and career struggles that affect every aspect of their lives. Masculinity in the Making: Managing the Transition to Manhood; therefore, will examine these issues and offer strategies and examples of what is possible for the post-adolescent male; more specifically, attention will be paid to theories and health issues specific to this population, social and cultural issues, academic and career interventions, aggression and violence, and media portrayals. The reader will be left with a deep and clear understanding of the needs of men as well as how mentoring and counseling can provide them with the support needed to be successful and productive members of society.

Book Synopsis The Descent of Man by : Grayson Perry
Download or read book The Descent of Man written by Grayson Perry and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be male in the 21st Century? Award-winning artist Grayson Perry explores what masculinity is: from sex to power, from fashion to career prospects, and what it could become—with illustrations throughout. In this witty and necessary new book, artist Grayson Perry trains his keen eye on the world of men to ask, what sort of man would make the world a better place? What would happen if we rethought the macho, outdated version of manhood, and embraced a different ideal? In the current atmosphere of bullying, intolerance and misogyny, demonstrated in the recent Trump versus Clinton presidential campaign, The Descent of Man is a timely and essential addition to current conversations around gender. Apart from gaining vast new wardrobe options, the real benefit might be that a newly fitted masculinity will allow men to have better relationships—and that’s happiness, right? Grayson Perry admits he’s not immune from the stereotypes himself—yet his thoughts on everything from power to physical appearance, from emotions to a brand new Manifesto for Men, are shot through with honesty, tenderness, and the belief that, for everyone to benefit, updating masculinity has to be something men decide to do themselves. They have nothing to lose but their hang-ups.

Download or read book The Will to Change written by bell hooks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-01-06 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all, with a new introduction by poet Ross Gay. Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).
Download or read book Death of Manhood written by Rj Derby and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding a way to connect with the masculine is something that is lacking within the world nowadays. Many men appear to be shackled by societal shame when it comes to being masculine; they are also layered with guilt if they display their birth given right to be masculine. Over the last decade, boys and young men have been taught a lot of nonsense about what it means to be a man, they have been programmed to believe notions that honestly do not serve them as men, which has resulted in the soft, weak and feminised men seen today in society. RJ Derby's Death of Manhood: The Societal Destruction of Masculinity is a short but direct book, a call to men to start taking responsibility and begin moving away from the lies they have been fed by a society that seems set on destroying the true essence of a man. If you're a man looking to change yourself, if you're a young man seeking a way to recognise your true potential as a man, if you're a woman trying to find ways to better understand your husband, son, nephew, friend, then this powerful read is for you. Loaded with insights and hard truths about the destruction of masculinity in modern society, RJ Derby's Death of Manhood is a book that should be read by every man. "Becoming a masculine man and embracing masculinity is not a sin against anyone or anything, no matter what the naysayers may try to preach. It is the role of being a man, something that shouldn't be ridiculed and hated, but also something that shouldn't be glorified or praised or even worshipped. It should only always be expected, only this and nothing else. It is expected of women to embrace their femininity, and so it should be expected of men to embrace their masculinity without contempt and made to feel ashamed for doing what is natural. Men, real masculine men are now but a few in today's world due to the overwhelming demands society has placed upon them and what it thinks men should amount to. It has left the remaining billions of men soft, weak, and fragile. If society continues its the annihilation of masculinity, sooner rather than later, we will all witness the destruction of civilisation as we know it." ~ RJ Derby
Book Synopsis The Dude's Guide to Manhood by : Darrin Patrick
Download or read book The Dude's Guide to Manhood written by Darrin Patrick and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the path to true masculinity—to an adventurous life of strength, purpose, and clarity. Didn’t we used to understand manhood? Wasn’t there a time once when it was clear and straightforward? Are we lost? Dudes, look around you: The trail we once traveled from boyhood to maturity is now so overgrown, it’s almost impossible to trace. Our vision is blurred, rendering the map that previous generations followed unreadable. Our compass needles are spinning in circles, making navigation impossible. We are stuck in dense, dangerous woods, and our communities—the wives, children, friends, and colleagues we could be influencing—are suffering as a result. It can be tempting to give up and, like so many men today, simply exist, but take heart: Now is not the time for men to abandon our quest. We can discover the path to true masculinity—to an adventurous life of strength, purpose, and clarity. In The Dude’s Guide to Manhood, pastor, author and dude Darrin Patrick charts a course back toward real manliness, mapping out a vision to help men find significance and influence in today’s broken, mixed-message culture. Revealing his own frailties and missteps, Patrick doesn’t preach at you but walks with you on a journey toward healing and wholeness. Filled with timeless wisdom, accessible insights and practical guidance, The Dude’s Guide to Manhood issues an encouraging and doable call to all men, whatever your age or stage. We need not settle for wandering aimlessly through our days, wounded, weak, and passive. Instead, we can get back on the trail, embrace our gifts while facing our imperfections, and trust the God of new beginnings to lead us into all that we are destined to become: forgiven, connected, determined, teachable, content, heroic, and so much more.
Book Synopsis Masculinity and Its Discontents by : Michael J. Diamond
Download or read book Masculinity and Its Discontents written by Michael J. Diamond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a uniquely psychoanalytic developmental perspective on male gender identity and the sense of maleness, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the development of masculinity in childhood and its continued evolution throughout a man’s life. Drawing on classical Freudian theory, as well as on more contemporary psychoanalytic theories, this book explores early infancy and child development, preoedipal factors and the oedipal complex, the influence of parenting and the unconscious transmission of gendered factors both by mothers and both biological and symbolic fathers, the male ego ideal, social, cultural, and biological influences, the role of inherent psychic bi-genderality in the context of gender binaries, and the inherent gendered tensions and challenges experienced as an individual progresses into adult and later life. This book is original in its characterization of the male developmental trajectory as underpinned by psychoanalytic principles pertaining to conflict and inherent tensions that continue throughout the life cycle and strongly impact other areas of life. Deeply rooted in the unconscious, a man’s multiply determined sense of masculinity requires deconstructing the mother, the feminine, and the other in the male psyche. As the text illustrates via clinical vignettes, an awareness and an understanding of these areas can improve the clinical work of psychoanalysts working with men who struggle with the intrinsic conflicts in their sense of maleness. This book will be of great clinical value to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners, and will stimulate the thinking of scholars in such areas as gender theory, psychodynamic and sociocultural aspects of gender roles, and the changing social definition of masculinity.

Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a man? And even if one gets the definition right (something that very few do) how does one go about becoming a man? We live in a world where most males are divorced from their masculinity. They have been told that their masculinity is at best "old fashioned" (as if that was a bad thing) and at worst "evil" and "toxic". Because of this we live in a time where males are more confused than ever. On one hand they hear about the war on masculinity and on the other hear about how their masculinity (which many have little or any of) are responsible for all of the world's ills. Becoming a man is something that has taken time, guidance, and effort in any age.Including one without all of the delusions and poisons of our own. In this book a path, a guide to manhood is offered. First off one must understand that not only is their manhood not evil but rather right, natural, and good but also that males will always feel lost and adrift without starting on this path. They will for all time feel like a fish out of water. It is only through starting on and going through this rigorous journey that they will feel well within their souls. This doesn't mean that the path is easy of course, far from it. But it is healthy and it is what is needed in this day and age (as all others before it and all that are to come).In To Be A Man: A Guide To Manhood you'll learn...- What this spirit of man is, why it's so important, and how to cultivate it in yourself.- The 3 P's of manhood and while they represent a foundation of what being a man is all about.- How a man is to handle women in his life.- How a man is to handle enemies in his life.- How a man is to handle accumulating resources in his life.- The inextricable connection between a man's freedom and his sense of manhood.- The 2 natural professions of man, that every man must develop to feel fulfilled.- The relationship between pain, challenge, and growth and what this means for a man.- The one and true measure of a man that has held since time began and will until it ends.- How to get started on the path to manhood and what this means for every man on it.- And much more.If you're ready to get started on your path to becoming the man you were destined to be then get your copy of To Be A Man: A Guide To Manhood today.
Book Synopsis The 5 Masculine Instincts by : Chase Replogle
Download or read book The 5 Masculine Instincts written by Chase Replogle and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don’t trust your instincts—there is a better path to becoming a better man. It’s no secret: today’s men face a dilemma. Our culture tells them that their instincts are either toxic or salvific. Men are left with only two options: deconstruct and forfeit masculine identity or embrace it with wild abandon. They’re left to decide between ignoring their instincts or indulging them. Neither approach helps them actually understand their own masculine experiences nor how those experiences can lead them to become better men of God. The Bible doesn’t shy away from the reality of masculine instincts nor all of the ways those instincts can lead to destruction. Examining the lives of five men of the Bible, The 5 Masculine Instincts shows that these men aren’t masculine role models or heroes but are men who wrestled with their own desires and, by faith, matured them into something better. Through this book you’ll discover your own instincts are neither curse nor virtue. They are the experiences by which you develop a new and better instinct—an instinct of faith. By exploring sarcasm, adventure, ambition, reputation, and apathy, The 5 Masculine Instincts shows you how to better understand yourself and how your own instincts can be matured into something better. This is the path by which we become better men.
Book Synopsis Modules for Manhood by : Kenneth W. Royce
Download or read book Modules for Manhood written by Kenneth W. Royce and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While 50% of people are male, a male is not necessarily a Man. The transformation of boy-to-man does not happen by accident, but rather through a proven process by fathers, brothers, uncles, grandfathers, and mentors. In the 21st century, most American males haven't access to such character-building role models, so they founder about as soft and incomplete males. This book will show you where your own modules for manhood are missing, and help you transform yourself into a strong, patient, competent, wise, and courageous gentleman of honor.
