Book Description
Today more than ever men are challenged to take steps toward greater consciousness and psychological development. In these lectures Murray Stein describes five “eras” or stages in a lifelong process of psychological and spiritual growth, as well as speaking about friendship between men and the archetypal gestures of fathering. The lectures are intended to help men of all ages to orient themselves in their lives as they search for meaning and seek personal development. This is a very personal book, made up of three series of lectures Murray Stein gave in the 1980’s. Although the times have changed since then, the basic issues have not, and the Zeitgeist remains one of ambiguity about male identity and a man’s responsibilities toward himself, his children and the world.

Book Description
This book is not so much a deliberate intention to create and develop a possible income-generating hobby but an evolution of ideas around a certain scenario. This is a departure from the who had done it, the convoluted romance, the thriller, the science fiction, or other kinds of genre. It is a human experience with a bit of everything: humour, sadness, a bit of fantasy, a bit of romance, suspense, and inspiration. It's been difficult to look back and see what originally inspired me to write this. No doubt people who know me will say it's based on similar experiences I've had in my life as they say with a lot of writers. I could also say it reveals a life I was not able to experience in my youth as well as a parenthood I've been unable to have. I was never in a situation these boys found themselves in during my youth. I tended to be an observer of life rather than a participant. So you could say the original idea for writing this book is born out this. It could also be said a genre like this is mixture of psychology and philosophy, with the character building involved in the boys at that sensitive age, having to deal with the trauma, but it was really a case of the boys, their parents, everyone else involved applying, with some professional help, a bit of common sense in what was thought to be a crisis turning out to be a mini crisis. Liam and Shane, in the end, are neither heroes nor villains but are as human as you and I. I didn't write this to set some ultraistic ideal or attempt to propose a method of bringing up children but to just portray how a middle-class family would, although not perfectly, deal with a given set of circumstances. The impact of the violent incident the story's centered round is increased by the somewhat ideal holiday experience. This is what we kiwis call kiwiana, that idealistic pastime of the family getting in the car and holidaying up the coast or to the lake and enjoying the scenery that is often only several hours drive from home. But life was never meant to be all fun and pleasure as adolescent boys can quickly find out. So you can enjoy this book because it's an uncomplicated saga of life itself.

Book Description
Warriors, lone rangers, conquerors-these are the common images that come to mind when talking about men. But are those the only metaphors for Christian men? Using the story of Joseph from the Bible, Gareth Brandt shows how male spirituality reaches its height when it shows compassion to all people, beginning with those close to us, and finds meaning through participation in building God's commonwealth of love and justice. 228 Pages

Book Description
Masculinity Under Construction: Literary Re-Presentations of Black Masculinity in the African Diaspora analyzes Black male identity as constructed by Black male authors. In each chapter, Dr. Jefferson-James discusses a different "construction" or definition of masculine identity produced by men of African descent on the continent of Africa, in the Caribbean, and in North America. Combing through the works of James Baldwin, Chinua Achebe, Ralph Ellison, George Lamming, and other pan-African authors, Masculinity Under Construction argues for the importance of analyzing the historical context that contributed to the formation of Black male identity. Additionally, Dr. Jefferson-James draws a relationship between Black feminists and writers, such as Anna Julia Cooper and her contemporaries, and these works of literature viewed as primarily about Black masculinity.

Book Description
Ever struggled to find the right words to talk about the threat of pornography with your kids? Too many of us avoid the subject, depending on simple technology filters to protect them. Yet children at very early ages are under attack and at risk to fall prey to pornography addiction. As parents, we must be prepared to deal with the issue head-on. Every Parent’s Battle: A Family Guide to Resisting Pornography not only exposes the frightening prevalence of pornography in our sex-obsessed culture, it equips parents with concrete and tested strategies to educate their kids about intimacy, human dignity, and sexuality as God intended it to be. “Dan Spencer’s new book … provides Catholic and other parents with tools and strategies that are aimed at prevention, rather than recovery, in the spiritual battle for the virtue of chastity…. I heartily recommend this book for your family’s happiness and the joyful embracing of life and dignity offered to us by Jesus Christ.” — ARCHBISHOP JOSEPH F. NAUMANN, ARCHDIOCESE OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS “The Roman Empire was a pornographic society - with all the misery that implies - but our own society is far worse. History shows that this problem can be overcome in only one way: the way of the Christian family. Dan Spencer shows us, in practical terms, what that means for us as parents. Reading this book is not just a good idea. It’s a duty.” — MIKE AQUILINA, EWTN HOST AND AUTHOR OF SEVEN REVOLUTIONS: HOW CHRISTIANITY CHANGED THE WORLD AND CAN CHANGE IT AGAIN
