Download or read book Journey to the Core of Creation written by Brian Stableford and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1847, and Paris is edging closer to its next revolution, but something is also astir inside Mont Dragon in the Ardèche. This is a place of annual pilgrimage for a band of enigmatic nomads, and also a place of interest to the ambitious Bishop of Viviers. In spite of his distaste for travel, Auguste Dupin makes the long southward journey, in the hope that he might be able to help an old friend, the evolutionist Claude Guérande. Guérande believes that he has made discoveries in the caves of Mont Dragon that might cast new light on the origin of humankind, and of life itself. Over the years, however, not everyone who has gone into the caves has come out again, and not everyone who has come out has been unaltered...and 1847 promises to be a critical year, more dangerous than any before it. And when the bizarre flameflower begins to bloom, everything changes! Another great tale in the Auguste Dupin series.
Download or read book Fathered by God written by John Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age when fathers are more important than ever, how do you embark on your journey to manhood and know how to steer clear of the dangers along the way? In Fathered by God, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reminds us that there's a path to masculinity and, best of all, there's a loving Father ready to help us follow it. In Fathered by God, Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father, and he wants to show us what masculinity really means. Eldredge teaches us that there's a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by generation after generation of men. There are perils along the trail, even disasters--all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before us. A boy has a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a man, and it takes the active intervention of father figures and the fellowship of other men to guide us along the way. Eldredge shares that in all of life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood. Through personal stories and practical guidance, Eldredge provides a map through the six stages of a man's journey and answers some of the most common questions about manhood that he's received over the years, including: How can I set a good example for my son? What does the Bible teach us about masculinity? How can I become the man that God designed me to be? Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood--not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a well-worn path that men have followed for centuries before us. Discover the truth about masculinity and become the man that God sees in you.

Download or read book The Way of the Wild Heart written by John Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2006-11-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about how a boy?and a man?becomes a man. It's a guide to the process of masculine initiation, that ancient path every boy and man must take if they would become the man they long to be. The path whereby they come to know they are a man, and are able to live and love from a deep, centered strength. We live in a time where most men (and boys) are essentially fatherless. Whatever their circumstance, they have no man actually taking them through the many adventures, trials, battles and experiences they need to shape a masculine heart within them. They find themselves on their own to figure life out, and that is a lonely place to be. Their fears, anger, boredom, and their many addictions all come out of this fatherless place within them, a fundamental uncertainty in the core of their being. But there is a way. "We aren't meant to figure life out on our own," says John Eldredge. "God wants to father us." In The Way of the Wild Heart, Eldredge reveals how God comes to a man and takes him on the masculine journey, how nearly all the events of a man's life can come togther to provide the initiation he never received. And how parents can offer that initiation to their sons. Whatever your age may be, your Father is ready to take up your journey. For you are his son.

Download or read book The Mask of Masculinity written by Lewis Howes and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘This is one of the most important topics today that seemingly no one is talking about: how men can take care of their emotional health in a 21st century that demands it. Crucial reading for any young or struggling man.’ - Mark Manson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck At 30 years old, Lewis Howes was outwardly thriving but unfulfilled inside. He was a successful athlete and businessman, achieving goals beyond his wildest dreams, but he felt empty, angry, frustrated, and always chasing something that was never enough. His whole identity had been built on misguided beliefs about what "masculinity" was. Howes began a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that men – young and old – wear. In The Mask of Masculinity, Howes exposes: · The ultimate emptiness of the Material Mask, the man who chases wealth above all things; · The cowering vulnerability that hides behind the Joker and Stoic Masks of men who never show real emotion; and · The destructiveness of the Invincible and Aggressive Masks worn by men who take insane risks or can never back down from a fight. He teaches men how to break through the walls that hold them back and shows women how they can better understand the men in their lives. It's not easy, but if you want to love, be loved and live a great life, then it's an odyssey of self-discovery that all modern men must make. This book is a must-read for every man – and for every woman who loves a man.

The material is aimed at the heart of a man, especially the man who longs to fulfill his destiny. John Bell draws on the lessons he’s learned in ministry, in church, and in business as well as what we know from science and ancient wisdom to help you: overcome the obstacles that prevent most men from becoming amazing; commit to changing the world of men, one man at a time, starting with yourself and those around you; replace fear with joy—and become amazing. An amazing man lives an amazing life that is extraordinarily impressive. He learns, loves, and leads in an amazing way. You, too, can be amazing!
Download or read book The Journeyman Life written by Tony C. Daloisio and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Path to Being a Better Man Many modern men are consumed by anger, frustration, aggression, and fear. We are unable to connect effectively as a spouse, a father, a friend, and even a leader. We push people away, lash out at those we love the most, and keep our inner struggles to ourselves. This disjunction from the outside world poisons our relationships and threatens our ability to find true fulfillment. But there is a path to a better version of the modern man. By confronting the inner challenges that inform our outward behaviors, we can reshape ourselves. With help and courage, we can set off on a new journey toward better relationships, more honest and effective communication, and an overall better life. Tony C. Daloisio harnesses over thirty years of professional experience as a practicing psychologist and researcher, as well as his own personal journey, to illuminate the road to a well lived life. The path—and the journeyman—will never be perfect, but the journey itself will lead to lasting positive change for ourselves and for our loved ones.

Download or read book The Masculine in Relationship written by G. S. Youngblood and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-13 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can Masculine power successfully co-exist with the strong Feminine? Yes. In this book is a model of Masculine groundedness that you can manifest in your relationship with a strong and capable woman. Such a woman doesn't settle for mediocre. She needs you to consistently follow through on your word, have purpose in life, remain grounded in the face of her intense emotion, make her feel safe, and provide leadership in the relationship. When that doesn't happen, she may start to drift. Things between you will start to feel flat, contentious, or even toxic. To you, she will seem to nag and criticize more, and have less interest in sex. When she gets really angry, you'll label it as "crazy" and blame her. But, in truth, she's just expressing the pain of you not stepping up. It is a relationship arc that is all too common. Fighting or defending yourself doesn't resolve anything. Withdrawing into work or your phone just makes it worse. And contorting yourself to avoid conflict just kills her respect for you.The answer is to develop and live from your Masculine core. This book shows you how in an actionable three-part framework: Respond vs. React, Provide Structure, and Create Safety. This is not the old model based on control, but a modern model based on clarity and leadership. This is not a manual for Alpha Dogs, nor a fuzzy spiritual guide. Rather, it is a clear set of principles that help you develop your Masculine leadership. And it doesn't take anything away from Feminine power. It is a blueprint for inspiring your woman's trust, lust, and devotion.
Download or read book Path of the Sacred Masculine written by Karen Kiester and published by New Dimensions Press. This book was released on 2014-11-30 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the patriarchy is diminishing and goddesses abound, what of the sacred masculine? As confusion about masculinity and what is means "to be a man" seems to muddy the water further, it is time for a simple yet pro¬found tool to offer some assistance: a contemplation card deck and guide book. These cards are a gift from Josef, the earthly father of the Christ. You know, the Josef and Mary, Josef, betrothed of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ. That man who clearly played a major role in the life of an extraordinary being, offering wisdom and guidance to this child who would grow to be a man and have a profound effect on the world. Who better to offer information and guidance about the Sacred Masculine than Josef? The purpose of this book, which supports the contemplation card deck, is to offer the opportunity to reflect upon and embrace the sacred masculine. It is my hope that the cards and book will be used to affirm what is wonderful and needed from the sacred masculine, as well as to offer guidance to broaden ones view of the sacred masculine. If you are looking for an "answer" book, this is not it! This book and separate card deck are meant to be a guide to help you find your own answers. You are the expert! All of the answers you seek are within you. The core premise is that the sacred masculine is energy rather than gender. It is not about having answers, or being the "expert." It is about posing questions that will lead one to self-discovery. It encourages you to question your perceptions and your belief systems and to be open to new possibilities. The book is aimed towards men, yet women will also find value in its pages and images for we all have both masculine and feminine energy and tendencies. The cards are tools to bring balance into one's life. May this book and card deck assist you on your journey.
