Описание: Includes two American classics that are sequels to Little Women and its continuation, Good Wives. Little Men takes up the story of the everyday dramas and exploits of the naughty but easy-going boys at Plumfield, a boarding-school run by Professor Bhaer and his lovable madcap wife Jo, the most fiery and free-spirited of the four March sisters.
Описание: How does a child who was born and raised as a Prince in an obscure spiritual order, survive to tell the story about his upbringing in a closed community, one that exposed him to a complex medley of behaviors and life events that were concurrently mysterious, ruthless, bizarre and beautiful? What happens when a youngster is a witness to mysticism, mediumship, fanaticism, sacred rituals, and spirit possession? How does he endure a peculiar environment that worshipped the Most High God of the Sun and espoused unconditional love for all while it turned a blind eye to indecency, cruelty, and the spiteful deeds of its religious zealots? And what kind of childhood does he have as an eyewitness to physical beatings and excommunication while the leader of this secret Order, a fascinating woman of color who possessed paranormal abilities and a plan to resurrect an ancient culture of metaphysical masters, enchanted his being with the tales of UFO's, life on other planets, the awakening of the kundalini, and the supernatural aspects of Judaism? This ultra-religious kid who truly believed in the spiritual mission of his leader, and embraced what he was taught about his unearthly magical abilities, became an adult in the secular world, abandoned the spiritual order of his youth, discarded most of its teachings, and concealed the story of his unconventional rearing for most of his life. It's time to tell his story... a story that few people will believe.

What do men want when it comes to love, marriage, and family? While the answer to this question is often skewed to something more dubious, they want the same things as women. Men want to feel loved, cherished, and supported to name a few. However, the social construct of gender roles is overwhelmingly incongruent and saturated with relationship-ending conflict brought on by mounting expectations to meet unattainable standards. Many men struggle in relationships as they are challenged to meet the standards of a world that has already prescribed what manhood and masculinity ought to be.
This book aims to undo many of the misleading concepts used to historically prop up patriarchal beliefs by addressing the roles of religion, economics, politics, socialization, and the intrapersonal development of men and women. These social constructs play an important role in hampering the emotional and spiritual growth of men as husbands, fathers, and leaders. Using snapshots from my personal story of marriage, divorce, and fatherhood, this book is a heart-to-heart discussion about loving, leading, conflict resolution, and uprooting the miseducation of men and masculinity to help you prepare to get married and make it last.

Описание: There is no cavalry coming! We are the iconic leaders we have been waiting for; curators of the change were seeking to see. America is currently rumbling with a reckoning on race and wonder whether it will finally reconcile its history of systemic oppression of its Black citizens, who have helped build this country. The 2020 murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, in the midst of a global pandemic ignited a wave of racial justice protests and activism analogous to how the murder of Emmett Till in August 1954 sparked the Civil Rights Movement 65 years ago. We are facing the fierce urgency of empathy and the overdue dismantling of long-standing barriers that prevent Black people from realizing their full potential in America. Research from the Opportunity Agenda reveals that stories of our lived experiences, more so than data and numbers, is what evokes the empathy that changes hearts and minds that might push us further toward "a more perfect union." I Too Am America: On Loving and Leading Black Men and Boys, written by Shawn Dove and Nick Chiles, delivers timely insights and inspiration that humanizes the stories of Black men and boys, while offering strategic recommendations on how together we can from our current rumblings with a racial reckoning to loving, learning and leading with and on behalf of Black men and boys.
