The men we long to be : beyond domination to a new Christian understanding of manhood

"Many men experience guilt about their role in the mistreatment of others, resentment about being overburdened, and profound alienation from themselves and the world in which they live as a result of patriarchal socialization. In this much needed book, Stephen Boyd exposes the detrimental implications of society's demands and definition of men." "The Men We Long To Be offers an alternative identity for men and challenges them to transform their ways of being. It explores issues of alienation, guilt, and societal roles, and helps men identify their true feelings and need for change." "Boyd's call for a new understanding of manhood is rooted in a renewed spirituality that recovers the best of Christian teaching."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
