What does it mean to be a real man today? And what IS "manhood," anyway? Is it biological, cultural, spiritual...? Real Natural Manhood: The Authentic Man's Guide To Courageous Manhood In The Modern World explores the central issue at the core of any man's life - how to gracefully leave behind boyhood, immaturity and fear, and enter bravely into the boundless strength and infinite joys of manhood. Men today are lost. We can all feel that something's missing. But we're not quite sure what it is... We scavenge the past for clues that may help us unravel the mystery of manhood. But for or better of for worse, the stalwart man of the depression era belongs to the 20's. The stoic, hard-drinking post WWII gentleman of the 50's is also gone. So what about now? What about TODAY? To come into your own as a man in the modern world is perhaps more difficult than ever before. Cultures all over the world have traditionally *forced* upon their boys Rites of Passage, which were designed to bring them face to face with their own mortality and usher them, if grittily, into manhood. In the modern, developed world, we have no such rites of passage... We are brought into the world as boys and nobody ever teaches us how to make the leap to the other side - manhood. The chasm is too great, too dark, too yawning. And our fathers, our teachers, our societies have all failed to show us the way. So we look to television, to books, to the chance role models that come into our lives. And we do our BEST with what we're given. But sometimes, we need a guide to lead us up the mountain. To drag us, kicking and screaming, to the sunlit peak... And so in our eagerness, in our earnestness, we develop plenty of brute masculinity. We lift weights and learn to fight, we command impressive salaries and drive expensive cars. We may even date beautiful women. Yet the closer you look, the more apparent it becomes that something fundamental is much too frequently absent from the average man. A core, a centering, a deep trust in existence... So what then IS manhood? What is it that today's man is utterly lacking? In short, men today flow through their lives unaligned. Unaligned with their hearts, unaligned with a purpose, unaligned with the very universe they live in, itself. It's like they're lost at sea without any land on the horizon. Yet every now and then you meet a REAL man... What is it about this man that STRIKES you as so real, so natural, so compelling, so...manly? You can't quite put your finger on it. It's not that he's muscular. Or successful. And even if you sharply observe and meticulously catalog all of his qualities, the whole is somehow much greater than the sum of its parts. It's something elusive, ineffable... What is it? This is question you'll investigate in Real Natural Manhood. Here are some of the vital things you'll find out in this short but powerful book: - The ONE Question You Can Ask Yourself Today That Will Change Your Life Forever - What Defines A 'Real' Man and How Do YOU Become One? - How To Imbue Everything You Do With 'Masculine Poetry' - How To Reconcile Your Mixed Feelings About Your Family - How To Drop The Conditioning That's Keeping You Small - How To Flow With Life And Let Things Go - How To Invite Inspiring Women Along For Your Journey - How To Live In The Here And Now (A Practical Method) - How To Forgive The People Who Have Done You Wrong - How To Make Peace with The Past For Good - How To Turn Your Life Into A Suspenseful Adventure - 6 Tips To Enjoy Sex More Than Ever - How To Feel Your Emotions Fully Without Sacrificing Masculinity - Why The Hormonal Component of Manhood is Crucial ...and much more. In just over 40 dense page, you'll get the straight talk and inspiration you need to say goodbye to boyhood and enter courageously into manhood. Every journey starts with a single step. Take this one now, and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

“Church is boring.” “It’s irrelevant.” “It’s full of hypocrites.” You’ve heard the excuses—now learn the real reasons men and boys are fleeing churches of every kind, all over the world, and what we can do about it. Women comprise more than 60% of the adults in a typical worship service in America. Some overseas congregations report ten women for every man in attendance. Men are less likely to lead, volunteer, and give in the church. They pray less, share their faith less, and read the Bible less. In Why Men Hate Going to Church, David Murrow identifies the barriers keeping many men from going to church, explains why it’s so hard to motivate the men who do attend, and also takes you inside several fast-growing congregations that are winning the hearts of men and boys. In this completely revised, reorganized, and rewritten edition of the classic book, with more than 70 percent new content, explore topics like: The increase and decrease in male church attendance during the past 500 years Why Christian churches are more feminine even though men are often still the leaders The difference between the type of God men and women like to worship The lack of volunteering and ministry opportunities for men The benefits men get from attending church regularly Men need the church but, more importantly, the church needs men. The presence of enthusiastic men is one of the surest predictors of church health, growth, giving, and expansion. Why Men Hate Going to Church does not call men back to church—it calls the church back to men.

As we take closer looks at the world that we live in today, there are a lot of things we can see, but we might have a hard time making sense of those things that are seen. Our society is ever changing and morally degrading its way into things...The only recourse of action to take is a serious introspection to...be responsible for the things that are left undone and unaccounted for. Our world is in dire need of repair and restoration and it must begin within the confines of our immediate families...We must start with the head and roots of our family, which is the Man.One of God's most effective and greatest resources is a man who is fully dedicated and willing to stand in the gap and call those things which be not as though they were. All it takes is one man!

An examination of women's self-defense culture and its relationship to feminism. I was once a frightened feminist. So begins Martha McCaughey's odyssey into the dynamic world of women's self- defense, a culture which transforms women involved with it and which has equally profound implications for feminist theory and activism. Unprecedented numbers of American women are learning how to knock out, maim, even kill men who assault them. Sales of mace and pepper spray have skyrocketed. Some 14 million women own handguns. From behind the scenes at gun ranges, martial arts dojos, fitness centers offering Cardio Combat, and in padded attacker courses like Model Mugging, Real Knockouts demonstrates how self-defense trains women out of the femininity that makes them easy targets for men's abuse. And yet much feminist thought, like the broader American culture, seems deeply ambivalent about women's embrace of violence, even in self-defense. Investigating the connection between feminist theory and women physically fighting back, McCaughey found self-defense culture to embody, literally, a new brand of feminism.

“...like a blowtorch to the forehead.” -- The Bay Area Reporter “...will soon be required reading for young homosexual men looking for an alternative to disco balls, rainbow flags and celebrity gossip.” -- Just Out, Portland “a straight-talking Drill Instructor for today’s gay generation, weaning them off pop divas and bear beauty pageants and licking them into a more manly, more self-reliant shape, ready to re-join the masculine fray.” -- Mark Simpson, British journalist who coined the term “metrosexual” “...let’s just agree to hate it...and leave it at that.” --Richard LaBonte, syndicated reviewer for gay newspapers nationwide The word gay has never described mere homosexuality. Gay is a subculture, a slur, a set of gestures, a slang, a look, a posture, a parade, a rainbow flag, a film genre, a taste in music, a hairstyle, a marketing demographic, a bumper sticker, a political agenda and philosophical viewpoint. Gay is a pre-packaged, superficial persona--a lifestyle. It's a sexual identity that has almost nothing to do with sexuality. Androphilia is a rejection of the overloaded gay identity and a return to a discussion of homosexuality in terms of desire. The gay sensibility is a near-oblivious embrace of a castrating slur, the nonstop celebration of an age-old, emasculating stigma applied to men who engaged in homosexual acts. Gays and radical queers imagine that they challenge the status quo, but in appropriating the stigma of effeminacy, they merely conform to and confirm long-established expectations. Homosexual men have been paradoxically cast as the enemies of masculinity--slaves to the feminist pipe dream of a 'gender-neutral' (read: anti-male, pro-female) world. Androphilia is a manifesto full of truly dangerous ideas: that men can have sex with men and retain their manhood, that homosexuality can be about championing a masculine ideal rather than attacking it, and that the “oppressive construct of masculinity” despised by the gay community could actually enrich and improve the lives of homosexual and bisexual men. Androphilia is for those men who never really bought what the gay community was selling. It is a challenge to leave the gay world completely behind and to rejoin the world of men, unapologetically, as androphliles, but more importantly, as men. The 2011 Scapegoat Publishing Kindle Edition includes a new Afterword by the author.

This study details the compatibility of ideas between Jonathan Edwards and Emanuel Swedenborg that helped forge the theological socialism of Henry James Sr. Duban demonstrates how a forgotten newspaper exchange between the elder James and Unitarian minister Henry Whitney Bellows clarified the Puritan foundations of the elder James's philosophy. Henry James Jr., in turn, transformed the phenomenalistic and Edwardsian foundations of his father's philosophy into the psychological dramas of major novels, although deeming the father's political radicalism destructive of aesthetic valuation.
