Book Synopsis The Crossing Rite of Passage from Boyhood to Manhood by : Richard Rupp
Download or read book The Crossing Rite of Passage from Boyhood to Manhood written by Richard Rupp and published by Waypoint Books. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 0 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Appalachian Cultural Competency by : Susan Emley Keefe
Download or read book Appalachian Cultural Competency written by Susan Emley Keefe and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health and human service practitioners who work in Appalachia know that the typical “textbook” methods for dealing with clients often have little relevance in the context of Appalachian culture. Despite confronting behavior and values different from those of mainstream America, these professionals may be instructed to follow organizational mandates that are ineffective in mountain communities, subsequently drawing criticism from their clients for practices that are deemed insensitive or controversial. In Appalachian Cultural Competency, Susan E. Keefe has assembled fifteen essays by a multidisciplinary set of scholars and professionals, many nationally renowned for their work in the field of Appalachian studies. Together, these authors argue for the development of a cultural model of practice based on respect for local knowledge, the value of community diversity, and collaboration between professionals and local communities, groups, and individuals. The essays address issues of both practical and theoretical interest, from understanding rural mountain speech to tailoring mental health therapies for Appalachian clients. Other topics include employee assistance programs for Appalachian working-class women, ways of promoting wellness among the Eastern Cherokees, and understanding Appalachian death practices.Keefe advocates an approach to delivering health and social services that both acknowledges and responds to regional differences without casting judgments or creating damaging stereotypes and hierarchies. Often, she observes, the “reflexive” approach she advocates runs counter to formal professional training that is more suited to urban and non-Appalachian contexts. Health care professionals, mental health therapists, social workers, ministers, and others in social services will benefit from the specific cultural knowledge offered by contributors, illustrated by case studies in a myriad of fields and situations. Grounded in real, tested strategies—and illustrated clearly through the authors’ experiences—Appalachian Cultural Competency is an invaluable sourcebook, stressing the importance of cultural understanding between professionals and the Appalachian people they serve.

Book Synopsis The Men from the Boys by : Ray Raphael
Download or read book The Men from the Boys written by Ray Raphael and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In other times and places the passage from boyhood to manhood was dramatized and facilitated by initiation rites. In ritualized fashion, the complex problems of personal development were translated into clear and concrete tasks. But in the dazzling variety of modern America there is no universal test or ceremony that bestows manhood: each male must find a group with its special initiations, or devise an initiation of his own. He may climb mountains, play football, join the army, pledge fraternities, impress the girls, and get drunk with the guys. But where do these free-style initiations lead in the end? To find out, Ray Raphael conducted in-depth interviews with one hundred American males ranging from a Mr. America body-building to a practitioner of witchcraft, from a "right stuff" fighter pilot to a draft dodger, from a self-proclaimed Don Juan to a "superdad." The Men from the Boys is the first and only book-length study of contemporary simulations of classical male initiations. The results of this study are unsettling. Initiations today function more as tests to determine who can make the grade than as educational tools that encourage the development of all young men. In the absence of inclusive rituals, Raphael's subjects struggle to overcome doubts as they negotiate their own paths to maturity. Their personal tales, told with dramatic and emotional intensity, speak to all American males who find themselves torn between a unisex modernity and more archaic notions of masculinity."--Jacket.
