Biagini, Rob, Men's Challenge
Deck: Practicing The Way of the Superior
Man. "It is time to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal,
all spine and no heart. It is time to evolve beyond the sensitive
and caring wimp ideal, all heart and no spine. Heart and spine
must be united in a single man, and then gone beyond in the
fullest expression of love and consciousness possible, which
requires a deep relaxation into the infinite openness of this
present moment. And this takes a new kind of guts. This is the
Way of the Superior Man." David Deida. This is a deck of 88
cards to be used as a tool for men's personal and spiritual
growth. Each card offers a challenge for a man to carry out -
either alone or with others - that will help him clarify his
deepest life purpose and live his fullest gifts in each moment.
Great to be used in a men's group! Plexus, www.deida.com/deck

Owen-Towle, Tom, Brother-Spirit: Men joining together in
the quest for intimacy and ultimacy. This book shows a
remarkable sensitivity to men's religious quests. He does not
assume that all men are on the same spiritual journey. Those
journeys take many different forms, given the idiosyncrasies of
our particular histories, not to mention our different life
situations shaped by age, race, social class and sexual
orientation. He holds up men's religious pilgrimages and illumines
them. He takes us into the male-bonding circles to show us the
problems and the enormous possibilities of men's ritual and
support groups. He elucidates the common themes of the
Brother-Spirit journey, themes which benefit the reader in private
meditation as well as providing an exciting agenda for men's
groups. In all of this there is the tone of balance" balance
between the inner and the outer, the spiritual and the worldly.
