Book Description
Goodbye, Good Men provides the real story behind the sex scandal currently rocking the Catholic church. Investigative reporter Michael Rose has conducted countless interviews and exhaustive research to uncover several out-of-control seminaries as the root cause of the scandal. While most pundits and critics are calling for liberalization of the Church in the wake of these scandals, Rose presents compelling evidence that liberal influence is the very cause of the crisis. The revelations in Goodbye, Good Men will shock the nation and ignite a firestorm of debate on the subject.

Buy a copy for your Bishop!.......2007-01-30
Excellent, true, and scary. Michael S. Rose, now an editor with the brilliant New Oxford Review, conducted over 100 interviews with former candidates for holy orders in magnet dioceses the formerly *exported* priests to other dioceses, such were the surplus of vocations.
So what happened? Yep, the "Spirit of `68"ers got control and New-Age-Sewaged the process of vocations to death. Never mind that those who hunger for strange flesh also got in the game, and the Moonbeam, Fruit-Loop, and Ouiji Board set.
Rose gives an alarming indictment of the vocational process today, and it is no surprise that it offers little inspiration and mounting difficulties.
One tiny quibble I have with Rose's nomenclature: candidates are repeatedly rejected for holding "traditional" Catholic beliefs on abortion, contraception, homosexuality, the primacy of the Pope, transubstantiation, and the Immaculate Conception. Far too often Catholics fall into the trap of ceding their name to the opposition by adding a qualifier such as "traditional." These are "Catholic" beliefs, no modifier, full stop. Other views are properly called "liberal" but are decidedly not Catholic. Calling yourself a "Traditional Catholic" weakens your arguments, and does not strengthen them and Rose falls for the trap a few times.
Rose also offers little for remaining in HOPE. We recall the Priests at Shiloh. We light a candle rather than curse the darkness. And instead of just being Joe-six-pack pew warmer raising a family, Rose's analysis shows that even ordinary layman have to be activists now. Sad.
Sooooooo. Buy a copy for your Bishop. Write your Bishop. Ask for The Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) priests as missions to your diocese (you may not like the Latin Mass, but believe me, their presence puts whacko Father Flake on watch negative). Rose's book is fine ammunition for returning the Church to winning souls instead of warehousing lapsed catholic hippies in sacerdos clothing.
Sick and scary.......2007-01-07
The author asserts that most American Catholic seminaries are run by homosexuals, radical feminists and heretics who desire to re-shape the priesthood, and thus the Church, in their image. Considering the state of the Church, I believe that Mr. Rose's thesis is correct. Unfortunately, the bishops and even the Vatican, are either unwilling or unable to do anything. Many, if not most of these seminaries need an Inquisitor to run a good old-fashioned auto-de-fe to root out the filth that has been educating and forming our priesthood for the past few decades. But who in authority has the guts to do it?
Ought to be a documentary about this.......2006-06-17
This story isn't told as much as it needs to be. I knew things were bad in some parts of the church, but some of the details here will positively floor you. After years of putting problem-priests and others into the administrative side of the house, this habit resulted in a seminary system that rewards radicalism and false teachers. Examples: a seminary class which taught wiccanism at the request of a student who planned to practice it as a catholic priest; a nun who spoke to others about her "upcoming" ordination as a priest (she and others planned to go through with the idea); a seminary in Maryland so gay it was nicknamed Pink Palace: they used to load up the cars and cruise the gay bars on Friday nights. There are several instances, probably still occuring, where men who wanted to become priests were rejected because they were not gay. Our church cannot afford to have the inmates running the asylum, as this book illustrates was, and perhaps still is, the case in many semenaries.
I could go on, but the story must be read to understand just how bad things got before the scandals were finally revealed in 2002. Even then, the news didn't cover the story in depth, probably out of a fear of appearing "homophobic."
The bright side is that there are some changes, slowly but surely. A documentary version of this book could wake even more people up to how bad its become in the semenaries.
HOMOSEXUAL UNDERCULTURE STILL PRESENT!!.......2006-04-23
Many priests in the "know" have said that this book must be taken with a grain of salt. Unfortunately, they don't know how true Mr. Rose's book is. The previous review mentioned a seminary in Indiana. I happen to know for a fact that this seminary has a homosexual underculture manifested and the rector and vice-rector are indifferent and think nothing of expelling good, holy and orthodox seminarians while advancing the gay culture. Sure, they put on a good act of piety, but they demoralize, rob the dignity and integrity of the good seminarians and push the development of the "evil". Yes, evil is still thriving in our seminaries. I know, I have experienced it. I was a seminarian in this seminary for 2 years.
YES ITS STILL GOING ON!!!.......2006-03-28
I entered seminary last year and believe me, if you aren't part of a clique or kiss up to the formation staff of this seminary in Indiana, then look out for some not very nice surprises during the annual evaluation. This happened to a good, orthodox, holy seminarian (who because he didn't play the political game) was given a bad evaluation and he left the seminary sadly disillusioned and heartbroken. The formation staff never took into consideration the good he did.....untiringly faithful as head sacristan and heading up the teams to deliver wood to the poor on weekends. Yet, there are gay seminarians here...who are deemed ready for ordination who are out visiting priests who they became good friends with while they were here and they are propositioning them. So, yes, good holy men are still being told to tone down their "piety" while the "gay cruising" seminarians advance to the highest heights. Then they wonder why they leave the priesthood after a few years. Its sad, but true.
Book Description
Pax Galactica. Enemies become allies. Old secrets are at last revealed. Long-held beliefs and widely accepted truths are challenged. Man turns to leisurely pursuits.
In this golden age, two old friends are drawn together. They seek to understand, and wonder how what they have long believed, what they have been taught, was never so.
Over two hundred years ago, the life of one of Starfleet's earliest pioneers came to a tragic end, and Captain Jonathan Archer, the legendary commander of Earth's first warp-five starship, lost a close friend. Or so it seemed for many years. But with the passage of time, and the declassification of certain crucial files, the truth about that fateful day -- the day that Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III didn't die -- could finally be revealed.
Why did Starfleet feel it was necessary to rewrite history? And why only now can the truth be told?

Suffers from the same problems that plagued the TV finale it's trying to fix........2007-08-06
There are two good things about this book that I liked. It brings Trip back and as an action novel it's not a bad read. However, it fails miserably at what I believe was the authors' aim in writing this novel; fixing the inconsistencies and explaining all the gaffes that took place in the poorly written finale of Star Trek Enterprise. In writing their story it seems that the authors made the same mistakes the writers of the final episode did. Too many things happen that simply do not make sense. What I disliked most was perhaps the authors' recognition that they made the same mistakes and their clumsy attempt to dismiss/explain them in a few words near the end of the book.
If all you want is a quick, entertaining read go for it. However, I do not recommend this book to make up for the poor ending of Enterprise. Personally I think it's probably best to remember the series ending with the montage at the end of the episode.
An alternate final episode for Enterprise.......2007-07-29
The Good That Men Do is a clever novel reframing the events of the final episode of Enterprise to tell a more complex tale of interstellar espionage. In Mangels and Martin's version, Trip's death is staged, part of a plot that has the engineer going undercover to infiltrate the Romulan Empire.
How, you might wonder, can a human with a regional American dialect hope to pass as a Romulan? Especially when at this point in Trek history humans don't even know what Romulans look like. If you have the patience to read though this book and keep notes, you'll find at the end you've got a long list of improbabilities, including a newly discovered alien species that just happen to be master plastic surgeons - AND to know what a Romulan looks like!
As with much licensed serial fiction, The Good That Men Do is overwritten, with far too many florid passages reminding us how emotionally sensitive all our heroes really are. Even the title has one too many words. The plot is no leaner, with far too many pages devoted to the planning for and agonizing over Trip's death. Jake Sisko and Nog pop up as the central characters in a framing sequence irrelevant to the main events.
There's a rather pathetic attempt to work God into the story, a discussion that ends with the Christian God being possible because, well, the universe is big and full of possibility. Which would include, I suppose, the possibility of gay characters in the Star Trek universe, of which there are two in this novel, mentioned in one sentence out of the thousands in this 400+ page novel. Over these few words a couple of self-appointed protectors of public morals have complained of the authors having a gay agenda. That anyone would make a mountain out of such a molehill speaks quite clearly of their own political agenda.
Overall, this book is much like the televised episodes of Enterprise - not particularly well-written but fun for a couple hours if you turn your brain off.
A really well written Star Trek Book.......2007-07-20
I really enjoyed "The Good That Men Do: Star Trek Enterprise" I liked seeing the Star Trek Universe from someone who wasn't a Starship Captain. And the overarching story being followed by Jake and Nog as we are reading it is a pretty clever plot device too. After all for me, Star Trek books are like holodeck programs anyhow. They can be infinitely more detailed and immersive than any television show or movie.
I'm looking forward to more in the series.
commander tucker lives on..........2007-07-20
this book gives readers (especially those who are fans of the tv series) a MUCH MORE satisifying story line for commander tucker. trip has been and will always be my favorite member of starfleet. he deserved a MUCH BETTER story line in the tv series finale. i really appreciated how the authors were able to take what happened in the finale and manipulate it so that trip continues to live on in the book. getting towards the end of the story, i got the impression that the authors were leaving the story line open so that maybe there will be another adventure for trip and the crew of enterprise. i hope so, because i'd like to read about another trip tucker adventure.
in the tv series, trip dies a hero. in this book, trip lives on as a hero.
Just couldn't get into it.......2007-07-03
Much like the series, I just couldn't get into the story line. Perhaps since I never really got into the Enterprise series, I didn't have any unresolved questions to find. I will admit, however, the story did pick up around the 250 page point. Perhaps it appeals more to fans of the series, but it just didn't work for me. It seemed to be trying too hard to tie in to the series at first. I found the short chapters of flipping scenes a little tiresome after a while...back forth back forth.

Book Review.......2007-09-30
Excellent book on how a Christian man should behave in relationships with other people in the church and with the world.
No More Christian Nice Guy.......2007-08-01
This book is must for every man and I would dare stretch it to teenage boys as well. The author is very inciteful and struck a chord with me in each topic. The book is well written, humorous, touching and above all, very practical. I am getting tired of the weak, feminized portrayal of Christ and I am glad this book is out there to help counteract that false image.
Must Read for Christians.......2007-06-27
"No More Christian Nice Guy" is a book that every Christian should read. Paul Coughlin skillfully explains how Christians often mistake being "nice" with being good, and how this mistake particularly harms Christian men and their impact on society.
"No More Christian Nice Guy" helped me identify a problem which had bothered me for a long time but which I couldn't articulate. Coughlin expertly notes how the problem of associating "niceness" with goodness turns men off to Christianity, turns Christian men off to church and further growth in knowing God, and all but forces Christian men to repress their natural, masculine attributes in favor of becoming worthless objects of lifeless passivity.
Some of the resultant injuries of "niceness" that Coughlin addresses are as follows.
The Christian promotion of "niceness" has led to the Church sinfully feminizing Jesus (Chapter 2: Jesus the Bearded Woman). Chapter 5 (How Being "Nice" Ruins Love and Marriage) shows how "nice" men are not good for men OR for women. Chapter 7 (Confused to Vilified: Our Culture's View of Masculinity) details how secular society is just as guilty as the Church (actually, even more so) in demanding that men be "nice" through its vilification of everything masculine. Chapter 6 (We're Men, Not Eunuchs) comments on how the emphasis for Christian men to be "nice" has led to Christians denigrating a man's natural sexual desires. (Chapter 6 also notes how many Christians would oppose parts of the Bible, such as the "Song of Songs", were they written today!). Chapter 8 (Nice Guy, Naïve Guy: How Being Nice Hurts Men at Work) explores how Christian encouragement for men to be "nice" turns them into doormats for others to use (as opposed to men who will stand up for themselves). And Chapters 9 and 10 (Masculinity: The Journey From Nice Guy to Good Guy, Parts 1 and 2 respectively) examine how Christian emphasis for men to be "nice" (instead of "mean" or assertive) stands in the way of Christian men being GOOD and Godly.
There are points in the book where Coughlin probably writes a bit too much about his own life (to the point where it nearly turns autobiographical at times) and this detracted somewhat from the main theme. Nevertheless, I still immensely enjoyed "No More Christian Nice Guy" and I highly recommend it to Christians everywhere--men and women alike.
Amazing book.......2007-03-24
As a mother of 3 boys I was interested to read this book based on hearing about the group Godmen. Some of the reviews say the book is hard-hitting and 'in your face'. I didn't feel that way at all. I saw it more as a plea. I even cried a few times while reading it. I'm not into self-help books AT ALL and this one, along with Being A Christian Without Being An Idiot, are the first two I've bought in probably 10 years. I read them both cover to cover and feel I've gained important insight into raising my sons to be godly men.
I've been frustrated for years by the so-called male leadership in the church. They do an okay job but seem hampered in some way. Then I hear men talk about the 'feminization of the church'. That offends me because it sounds like a cop out. If woman are leading it's because men refuse to, and it smacks of the whole 'the woman made me do it' line by Adam in the garden. LOL
The book helped me understand how this came about and makes me more empathetic to men. :) I'm thrilled to see men becoming more masculine and rising up to live out their God-given roles and pray this book makes it into the hands of the suffering men out their who lead their lives in quiet desperation.
Wake-up Call for Nice Guys!.......2007-01-24
Paul Coughlin has penned an excellent book based on personal experience. If you grew up in church as a young boy, you were taught and encouraged to "be nice". Even at the expense of justice, we were instructed to "grin and bear it", etc. Coughlin makes a case that Christian men need not to be "nice", but to be "good"; to be men of integrity who speak up when it is merited. He points to Jesus, who would never make it in the church today because he was firm and spoke his mind. In other words, he was not always nice. This is a must read for all nice guys!

When Good Men Are Tempted (updated version).......2007-08-06
This updated version (07/07) of When Good Men Are Tempted covers a subject that is not normally covered in Christian Books: sexual sins. The author does not preach; this is a first person account of fighting sexual temptation.
Rather than feeling isolated in sins or temptations of a sexual nature, this reader felt like a "normal" Christian fighting a battle that other Christian men are also fighting.
Is masturbation a sin? (you hope not, right?) What does the Bible say about it? Ever bring up the subject at Bible study? Ever heard a sermon on the subject? Probably not. This book has a chapter to cover the "M" word.
Subjects that are difficult to discuss with your pastor (or wife) are discussed in this book along with the accounts of great men of the Bible who failed when tempted with sexual sins. Yet there is victory. The author gives the reader a Bible based, prayer based, Christ based plan for victory over sexual temptations.
In a world that is becoming more and more sexually explicit, Christian men need a plan to overcome the world's temptations; I feel that this book, When Good Men Are Tempted, gives us that plan
great reading.......2007-01-11
This is the best book i've ever read I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about his relationships and jesus.
WINNING THE BATTLE OF TEMPTATION .......2006-01-29
Pastor Bill Perkins produced a high quality book on why men succumb to sexual temptations and how they can win the battle against lust. The book begins with an outline of the struggles encountered by men with respect to temptation. The author explains why naked women look so beautiful and in particular, why other women look better than our wives. He explains why men often succumb to lust and why it can be very addictive.
The author comes up with practical suggestions that should help men comprehend the immense power of sexual temptation and how to overcome them. One major step forward is to admit the problem if lust has taken control instead of hiding it. Despite men falling victim to lust and temptation, the author explains that God still loves us and is ready to assist in overcoming the problem.
Among the insightful solutions the author suggests is for men to cultivate buddyship, whereby men develop a strong relationship with a small group of other men, where they share their problems, open up and reveal the secrets that may be bringing shame and guilt to their lives. Together as buddies, and with the help of earnest prayers, they can be helped to overcome the problems with lust and temptation.
I, however, see the possibility of some women readers getting the impression that Christian men see women as sexual objects. This would be unfortunate as the author's message is clear and directed to a particular audience, men, focused on helping those men afflicted with lust and temptation to overcome this menace and not in any way to degrade women.
The author uses a simple writing style that makes the book readable and makes the reader understand the temptations that men are subjected to on a daily basis. The author provides an honest and insightful presentation of why good men are tempted and how they can overcome this problem. The book is recommended reading by all men.
Comments from a Pastor of Men's Ministries.......2004-04-08
Aa a Pastor of Men's Ministries, I frequently have men coming to me for advice because they are struggling with the issues outlined in this book. Sadly, often is the case when these men are not willing to fight but simply give in to their temptations without realizing the consequences of their actions. Bill Perkins does an excellent job of outlining the steps needed to insure victory.
One of the highlights of the book was author Perkins full disclosure in graphic terms of his own vulnerabilities and the battles that he fought to overcome temptation. Often in ministry, you do not hear of this type of transparency and therefore, the ministry leaders credibility becomes questionable. Throughout the book, the author speaks with the authentic reality of what a man's man deals with in daily life to be able to put the Lord first and the seriousness of His commands.
As a result of the impact that I have seen in my own life and many of the men in our church, I can heartily recommend this book for everyone. This statement includes the wives and significant others who will need to better understanding the temptations that every man is subjected to in a world that has become hostile to a fully devoted follower of Christ.
Good Guidelines For Winning The Battle.......2004-01-27
After reviewing the deeply flawed "Every Man's Battle I mentioned that I would read another book with the same theme of sexual purity. To that end I purchased "When Good Men Are Tempted" by Bill Perkins. It is an honest and often disturbing look at the subject. The book claims that "Bill Perkins details a plan for sexual integrity - one that works. He shows men how to achieve a purity that will preserve the sanctity of their marriages, the security of their families, the vitality of their walks with God, and the strength of their relationships with their brothers in Christ."
The book begins with an attempt to understand the struggle men face. Perkins shows why naked women look so good and why other naked women look even better than our wives. He speaks of the addictive cycle of trying to repeat "young love" or our first sexual experiences. We want to be able to relive the original excitement we felt during those often illicit experiences. He illustrates these concepts with the example of Samson.
The author's solution to this problem surrounding lust is simply to raise the white flag. We need to surrender to God and admit the problem rather than run from it or try to hide it. Lust, he says, cannot be overpowered, reformed or starved. It needs to be dealt with and dealt with now! To be dealt with it needs to be dragged into the light so we can deal with the shame and guilt. We need to admit specific sins to God and ask Him for His forgiveness.
The close of this section contains a chapter regarding families of origin. This chapter is confusing and often left me confused as the author discussed the codependent roles we assumed as part of our families and how this leads to problems with purity later in life.
Having admitted the struggle, we are now able to find freedom. To do this we must choose our master and count the cost of the one we will choose. To cease a lifestyle of lust the cost of continuing needs to be higher than the cost of quitting. We need to see that continuing in a lifestyle will have consequences in our relationships with our families, our spouses and most importantly, with God. We need to realize that God can fix us and that He wants to fix us. As He fixes us He will help us discover the new men we are through Him. Through Him we have a new perspective, new presence and new power. With these we can now begin to break the addictive cycle that continually leads us to sin. The practical suggestions the author provides are: memorize Scripture, call on God and find what rituals lead us to sin and learn to break those rituals.
The final section focuses mostly on building accountability relationships with other men. Every man needs ally himself with a small group of men who can help him win the battle against lust by holding him accountable. There is a small section about sex and ideas for spicing up a sex life, followed by a chapter detailing some "tools for tight corners" that can be used in a moment of weakness.
The book is written in a personable way that leaves the reader feeling like he has had a personal chat with the author. Perkins admits his own weaknesses, leaving the reader comfortable admitting his own. Perhaps the greatest strength in this book is the emphasis on the "why" of sexual temptation. Having an understanding of the reasons behind temptation gives a solid perspective on how to deal with it. The author does not attempt to blame our lust on Satan, but emphasizes that our sin is ultimately our own and we need to deal with it. If the emphasis on the "why" is the strong point of the book, I would suggest that the "how" is the weak point. It may be, though, that I am looking for a magical key to stopping sinful behavior. Still, as with Every Man's Battle I am left hoping that God truly can remove this sin, rather than just masking it and helping us deal with it time and time again.
In the end, this book does a far better job of dealing with the subject than "Every Man's Battle" and it receives my recommendation.

White Men Can't Hump is a book of hope. The hope is that one day Black Men in America will no longer be viewed as unintelligent, unattractive, undesirable, uncivilized, and just plain old worthless. White Men Can't Hump will address why Black Men in America are perceived in such a negative way, and will also explore the origins of this negativity. White Men Can't Hump will also explore how this negativity has been spread for the last four centuries (a la stereotypes), and why this negativity has been spread (a la "Fear of the Black Penis"). Several of these so-called negative Stereotypes will be closely examined and shown in a new light. White Men Can't Hump will ask why two well known Stereotypes that have been historically assigned to Black Men, are only considered negative when applied to Black Men. Most men desire a large Penis and an elevated sexual prowess, but all across America (in offices, bars and locker rooms) the Black Penis and Black Prowess are routinely the Punch Line to jokes. White Men Can't Hump will ask why, and will also ask a question that will create a debate for the ages: "Who's better in bed, Black Men or White Men?" White Men Can't Hump will take you the reader on an educational and enlightening journey through America's past and present with the hope of changing America's future. So sit back and enjoy or cuss, agree or disagree, and most importantly think with an open mind. Because whether you like it or not, White Men Can't Hump tells the story of who all of us are, where we've come from, and where we're going. White Men Can't Hump is divided into two VOLUMES. VOLUME I focuses on how Sex has historically affected Race relations in America, and VOLUME II focuses on how Race has affected Sex relations in America. Don't be confused by the similar titles because both VOLUMES pack a different Sexual, Racial, Political, and Social punch.

A powerful learning experience.......2007-06-09
Well! I just finished both volumes and found the book raw, bold and powerful. It also was humorous at times (I too, was laughing out loud at Volume II) but it taught me so much of what I didn't know.
I was fortunate enough to meet Todd and his brother Chris at Book Expo America and enjoyed our time together very much.
In my humble opinion, the book is extremely important for all of us. Todd's salient lesson is an uplifting one to black men and women, a wake-up call to those of the white race and a healing one to all in the human race. His "warnings" and discussion of the African's role in the slave trade in the beginning of Volume I pulls one right into the book and then his frank explanation of the core of resentment between races becomes clear. He then chronicles the brainwashing of the American public as well as what black men have had to endure including saddening lynching descriptions. He also comments on pop culture in a very succinct way. His comments are the opposite of wishy-washy!
I wrote a book about a white artist who fell in love with the Black culture and I'm happy to report that there are black angels and beautiful, elegant black women as well as dignified black men in his art. He saw their beauty back in the mid-twentieth century while racism was all around him.
Upon researching turn of the 20th century art for a new project, I came across newspapers from the 1890s-1900s which consistently would have an article about a "negro" attacking someone. Oddly enough, it could be a newspaper from a small town in Virginia and the article would be about an incident in Albuquerque - sometimes on the front page! I found it appalling and part of the brainwashing that Todd writes about.
This book will promote much lively discussion among all races, and it concludes with a positive message - something we all desperately need today. It's also perfect for a library book group - especially a multicultural one - providing the members aren't prudes. Congratulations to Todd and Chris! It was a great, informative read.
Hope of a new generation.......2007-05-18
The author's knowlege and wisdom are being passed on to the reader with candor in a way that's easy to read, but sometimes hard to swallow. I only hope that this book becomes necessary reading for the youth of today (black and white alike) so that they may grow, and not allow themselves to become what society expects out of them.
A must read.......2007-05-13
WMCH Volume II is as good as volume I. I think both books are a must read for everyone who cares about race relations. Volume I is a history lesson touching on history not taught in schools and events not covered by the media. Volume II takes a humorous look at race stereo types and leaves you saying "Hmmm he has appoint".
I feel like I was looking at life with blinders on. I think both books would be excellent for book clubs to read and discus and even used in schools (Under 18yr should be at the discretion of the parents). I loved both books and highly recommend both.
*GYRL6*.......2007-01-11
I read White Men Can't Hump VOLUME I last month and I truly enjoyed every single page of it, but after reading VOLUME II I'm stunned there's no public discussion about either book. I enjoyed VOLUME II a little more because there's more humor and it appeals more to my generation (X). I caught myself laughing/screaming out loud countless times. VOLUME I is a history lesson that evokes raw emotion from the reader, and psychologically breaks you down and challenges you. If you can make it thru the chapter Lynching Psychology 101 without shedding a tear, you're not human. I can't wait to read both of them again, back-to-back, as intended. I consider both of these books social masterpieces because they expose what's at the heart of America's racial tensions like no other books I've ever read. This guy used the Republican formula of taking a person or legislation and putting a face or label on it. He re-defines racism and put a face on it, thus making it a tangible living and breathing element. He used the same spin tactics that Rove and the G.O.P. use, but he used it to describe America's ills. Terms like Limpbaugh Syndrome and Small-Poleons Complex are hilarious on the surface, but when he applies these terms that he created (in order to re-define certain kinds of bigotry) you'll find yourself enlightened and amazed. He spins all of the buffoonery about black male sexuality into a premise that is not very funny when he finishes. No Black Man has ever had the courage to say- If these things you've said about us for centuries are true, then we must be better in the bedroom than you. That may sound silly on the surface, but when that premise is posed to those who enjoy the bufoonery, it immediately changes the tone of the debate. Those well-known stereotypes are funny when portrayed negatively or comedically, but when he converts them to real-life bedroom activity it erases the smiles off of certain faces. If this book finds its way into the mainstream, a certain segment of our population will no longer find VH1's ridiculous Flavor of Love so humorous. I can't recommend these two books enough. Enlightenment meets Enjoyment!!!
Book Description
What's evil to one person may be a virtue to another. White Men Can't Hump is going to open America's Racial and Sexual Pandora's Box. This will allow you the reader to decide what is evil and what is not evil. In America what is considered a virtue when applied to White Men, is usually considered evil when applied to Black Men. White Men Can't Hump will ask why, and will give possible answers. White Men Can't Hump is a book for all Races, creeds, colors and genders; so please sit down and take some time to get to know it. After all, isn't that what we do when we meet someone different for the first time? What W.M.C.H. will do is help people discuss the uncomfortable subject of Race by combining Race with a subject that people Love to discuss, Sex. My first hope is that by combining the two subjects' people will see each of them in a new light, and therefore see each other in a new light.

(RAW Rating: 3.5) - What is your legacy?.......2007-08-04
Todd Wooten intends to open America's Racial and Sexual Pandora's box, and give readers the opportunity to determine what is evil and what is not. He adamantly alludes to the assumption that things considered a virtue when applied to white men are usually considered an evil when applied to Black men.
The basic premise of this book is that racism against Black men emanates from "Fear of the Black penis." Some of the evidence the author provides is overwhelming. He details many indisputable facts: the lynching of Black Men in the early 1900's, and the castration ritual that usually accompanied these murders, the anti-miscegenation laws, the case of the Scottsboro Boys, the Tuskegee Experiment, and more. He voices how Hollywood still neuters Black men and exploits Black women. He highlights the disparity in how the media, as well as the criminal justice system, portray Black males versus white males. Wooten hopes the day will come when Black men in America will no longer be viewed as unintelligent, unattractive, undesirable, uncivilized, and worthless.
Because of the overt title, many people will overlook this book, and will undoubtedly miss a very important message. WHITE MEN CAN'T HUMP is full of hidden truths and substantiated statistics, but also shares Wooten's distinct opinions. It took courage to publicly speak about the volatile topics that were addressed. A thought provoking read, which asks questions that will create heated debates, and will make people aware of racial surroundings.
WISDOM AND HUMOR ON RACE AND SEX.......2007-07-02
Reading this book feels like a great, deep conversation over dinner with a dear friend. This book is a consummate critical analysis of bigotry and bias in all arenas. Wooten's hilarious sense of humor balances the sting of his profound wisdom and righteous rage.
Wooten's humor is evident upon every page. Read this amusing, intellectual, and wonderful book today. I love this author. His style and tone are revolutionary!

Mr. Wooten has done the impossible. He has presented a taboo topic with humor and intelligence. After reading countless books with no substance and incredible humor (or vice versa), I was both impressed and relieved to read this book. The information presented is fascinating, factual and funny. As we all know, this is rare in any book that discusses race in America. Thank God we finally have a book like this. I was so tired of reading dry, textbook like volumes on American race relations. Mr. Wooten is a breath of fresh air.
Don't Judge A Book By The Cover.......2007-05-16
It's apparent why the author has chosen to place this saying on every single page of both volumes. These books are packed with historical, financial and social facts of how we live in this country. To be honest I was a little reluctant when a friend asked me to visit the author's website; I thought it may be just another "one of those books", but after visiting the site I immediately ordered it. This is by far one of the most interesting reads I have run across in years! The detail and time it must have taken in writing these books can only be commended, but the books are outstanding. These books in my opinion are a must read!!
very thought provoking.......2007-05-14
I just finished the book and very much enjoyed it, The Author did a lot of research, with the history and the subject matter. I have personally experenced some of what the Author was talking about. If a person did not read the whole book,(both) from cover to cover then I could see a person having the wrong ideal about this book, being strictly a racist book but it's not. People have to walk in another mans foot steps to understand this book. It's a rare thing for a white person to be in the minority and loose that comfort zone. Afican Americans live the life of being uncomfortable on a dailey basis, a real christian try,s not to judge a man by his skin color but by his charicter. Try to get to know someone who do not look like you. Try it you might like it.
The book delves into the differeces that Whites have versus Blacks, just the simple thing of what a white man vs a Black man likes in a women. The stereo types that both races use on one another and about other races.
Read the Book and then make a decision about what point that Author is trying to make.

Book Description
Writing from personal and professional experience, Aaron Kipnis shares both the riveting story of his own troubled youth-and how he turned himself around-and the successful approaches he has used to help "bad boys" become good men. Angry Young Men offers specific, practical advice for parents, teachers, counselors, community leaders, and justice professionals-- everyone who wants to help at-risk boys become strong, productive, caring, and compassionate men.
"Angry Young Men is an extremely important book that is especially timely now during our current epidemic of violence by and against boys and young men . . . Aaron Kipnis has seen deeply, not only into the souls of troubled boys and adolescents, but also into those aspects of the spirit of our culture and our epoch that have turned an unprecedentedly large portion of our boys and young men into the perpetrators and victims of violence."--From the Foreword by James Gilligan, M.D., Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

A Real Page Turner.......2006-01-15
I first checked this book out at the library somewhat reluctantly. It looked like a text book, in other words, necessary information but rather dull and difficult to read through. I couldn't have been more wrong! It was absolutely excellent information from someone who grew up as one of the boys from "the wrong side of the tracks." I am aspiring to be a Juvenile Probation Officer and this book was just so informative. It is a must read for anyone working with or raising young men.
We've needed this book for a long, long time........2001-09-02
This book is a moving interweaving of autobiographical anecdotes, patiently accumulated facts (did you know that more is spent in the US on prisons than on college educations? See malepsych.com for more such data), and concrete suggestions for understanding our national epidemic of angry youth and doing something constructive about it.
Don't let the impotence of current national solutions and quick-fixes ("just say no"; "bring your child to work day"; etc. ad nauseum) convince you that the problem of angry young men is insoluble. It's not. In fact, the suggestions offered by the author throughout the book are relevant, doable, sensible, and verifiable. Grouping the outside forces that make for violence into six Pathways to Prison, Dr. Kipnis goes on to explain what they look and feel like from inside the young rager--and it is that part we sorely lack in our sorry stabs at "explaining" youth violence from the outside, its perpetrators objects to be warehoused for a profit as slave labor.
Most of the violent males I've counseled have already done jail or prison time--and yet even with them, listening carefully, confronting them firmly and respectfully with the consequences of their behavior, educating them about basics like managing addictions and painful emotions, and showing them that strong males can be gentle, patient, and nonviolently assertive gave our counseling center (Cornerstone) close to a 90% success rate (meaning: 90% men who completed the full program never reviolated their probation). I wish I'd had this book available then, for them and for me. So much more can be done with young men before they ever get to this point!
Dr. Kipnis is President of the Fatherhood Coalition, a nonprofit that among other things encourages fathers to be an active, available part of their childrens' lives. I can tell you that of the hundreds of violent men I've worked with, not one--not one!--had had an adequate, let alone loving, relationship with his father. Given our country of unavailable dads (and moms, of course), do you begin to see why more young men are imprisoned in the US than were locked up in pro-aparteid Africa?
This and other dynamics behind the immense problem of young male violence are explained in this book with clarity, erudition, and personal experiences convincing far beyond the usual theoretical models.
The Talmud talks about the "Master of Return," the man who took the wrong way and then found the right way; in the eyes of God such a man stands higher than even the angels in heaven. One such man has penned this book, as you'll see for yourself when you read it. If you spend any time at all around young males, or if you simply want to understand what's going on in their world, then this resource is indispensable.
A must read for any one who works with young men.......2000-10-01
This book is excellent! I work in a correctional facility and it has really helped me to understand the young men that I work with. I plan on reading it with them and having discussions on the information presented. Many of these young men come from the "5-H club" mentioned in the book. They need people who understand where they have come from and what they have gone through. I'm not saying they shouldn't be punished for their crimes, but I feel we need to find alternative solutions for these young men, rather than putting them in an adult prison where they only learn new and more dangerous crimes from the hardened criminals.
I needed this book.......2000-03-20
I teach remedial English and reading at a middle school with a high poverty rate, a 40% latino population, and a big gang problem. All of my students are Latino, most are boys, and most are constantly in trouble at school, if not with the law. This book doesn't have all the answers, but it went a long way towards helping me understand where my troubled boys are coming from and why they act the way they do.
First Hand Experience.......2000-01-24
With all the sensational press about the dangerous young men in our schools and neighborhoods, it is refreshing to read Kipnis's first hand account of what contributes to the despair and hostility in troubled adolescent boys. His book has specific suggestions for addressing the problems he identifies in clear and compelling language. This book, and "Raising Cain" by Dan Kindlon amd Michael Thompson have been the best insights into the life of boys that I have read this past year.

Excellent!!!.......2007-01-26
This is one of the best, no-nonsense books on raising a son on the market today. I should know--I've tried alot of them! It's easy to read, thoughful and insightful.
A manual on how to raise boys.......2006-11-04
This book helped me understand better how boys change during their life from early childhood to young adulthood. I looked back at how my own boys have developed and I discovered many things I was blissfully unware. I found also many useful educational tools in the book.
Michael Gurian has a very clear writing, sometimes he repeats himself, but with a good reason: one will revisit the book as the boy grows older to read sections that have a precise target. This is like a user manual on how to raise boys of any age.
The book is divided in four parts: overview of boys in comparison with girls from the point of view of psychology and neurobiology, early childhood (Age of Obedience), middle childhood (Age of Convention) and teenage years (Age of Intuition). The first part is mandatory reading, in my view. It does an excellent job at explaining why boys are different. You learn about brain structure, hormones and what they actually mean in terms of behaviour outcomes and education method. The other parts can be read when needed, although you should read the book entirely at least once, even if you boy is not in the age bracket discussed by a particular part.
The curious thing about the book is that it seems like an easy read, sometimes even dry, but the concepts are profound. I see clearly now where I made mistakes, not because of particular mishaps but because my errors in principle. Being a good parent, especially a good father, is much more than working hard long hours for the sake of family wealth. This is where the book is best and I am so glad I bought it. It has a well designed structure that maps our life cycle in the context of family, traditions, education with support from recent scientific research in sociology, psychology and neurobiology.
I liked how the main parts are sub-divided. The book has a rythm, a methodical approach so that you can see how the child evolves and how outcomes are created in the process. The subdivisions are: developmental milestones, discipline techniques, moral teaching and a healthy moral and emotional environment. The language is simple but powerful because the content has value and it is very concrete.
The author discusses how to handle issues like respect, language, rules, rituals, backtalk, chores, allowance, sex and drugs. I appreciated the fact that the book does not have empty, positive talk, but focuses a lot on identifying facts, issues and how to handle situations in a way that suits your background (father, mother, single parent, tutor).
This is the kind of book that makes it easy for you to want to come back and read it again, because when you need it, you will know precisely where to look and what to look for.
Excellent Guide Book for Raising Sons!.......2004-08-04
Michael Gurian gently takes us through the stages of development in boys as he sees them and has a knack for challenging us and at the same time feel more comfortable with the process. As a father of a severely autistic boy and a typical boy, I can use tips in this book to help Ryan understand his special brother and help him feel less alienated and closer to his family.
"Publisher's Weekly" got it right when they called this book "the definitive guide to the moral and emotional development of our boys and young men."
WELL DONE MICHAEL GURIAN!!!
Long Overdue Focus on Raising Young Men.......2002-10-19
"The Good Son" by Michael Gurian (a therapist and educator) is a book for parents designed with the intention of helping them raise a morally grounded son. Subtitled "Shaping the Moral Development of Our Boys and Young Men", I felt Mr. Gurian did a great job by dividing up the chapters into specific age groups (infant, toddler, teen, etc.). I am not inclined to read these types of books (self-help, how-to), but with heavy pressure from my fellow parents and their strong recommendations I'm sure glad I did. We are presented with the physical, emotional, and psychological growth that we can expect and how this will effect the behavior of our boy(s). The book is crammed with excellent examples - some quite inspiring - from Mr. Wolfe's practice as well as practical guides to discipline, "rules to live by", and the "range of normal". Despite the subtitle the book is not moralistic or preachy, but rather focuses on helping parents instill their own belief system into their child. In our politically correct world, I particularly enjoyed the explanations of the differences between boys and girls and how they interpret the world around them (they're different! Who knew?) Throughout the book, medical research is presented (some well known and some fairly recent) to back up his ideas. In our politically correct and gender neutral idealized society it is refreshing to hear someone unafraid to speak the obvious. Ultimately, the information is neither bound to dry medical text nor religious ideology, but rather, a very readable and fun resource for parents.
Easy reading.......2001-01-20
This book is suggested to anyone who has to raise a son in todays world. I have bought this book for 2 women raising boys. It has open a new world for me-the understanding of why my boy is the way he is. The author suggest structure and rules will help your young boy blossom into a confident young man. Ever chapter he touches on "the Range of Normal" which you can apply to your child at his age level.
Book Description
A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style-it is a book about the rules-rules that will allow any man to feel more comfortable in the choices he makes about what he wears. It answers such questions as: What does "black tie optional" mean? What do I wear to a wedding at 7:00 on a Saturday evening? What do I wear to a job interview? What do I wear to a second interview, even if they observe a casual dress code? What do I wear to the Academy Awards? What do I wear to a funeral? And what button do I leave open on my suit coat?
This GentleManners book is divided into sections about specific items of clothing and specific accessories. It also delves into the different types of events to which a gentleman may find himself invited. The book concludes with sections on extreme etiquette, such as what to wear to meet the pope, and a section on fashion emergencies, such as what to do when your pants split.
- A gentleman knows that dressing up may require going to great pains; but it does not require that he feel any pain at all.
- A gentleman knows that a formal shirt does not have a button-down collar.
- A colorblind gentleman is not ashamed to mention his disability to a clothing salesperson and to ask for assistance in selecting a shirt or tie to match a suit.

Good guide for what to wear.......2007-04-05
I bought this book for my boyfriend because he's always asking what to wear to this or that occasion, and what looks good with what. It's a quick read, and he finished it in a couple days. He keeps it on the bookshelf and does refer to it when dressing for weddings, work events, and other less common social occasions. I've read the book too - it's a concise guide with a conversational tone that avoids condescension. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good gift to a young man.
avoiding the fashion emergency.......2007-01-02
The triumphant and unostentatious stroll of Rutledge Press' 'Gentlemanners' series continues with this 2003 guide to a gentleman's kit.
There is nothing over the top or self-indulgent in these pages, just light-hearted advice for those of us who need a little help avoiding a fashion emergency. Understanding my vulnerability means keeping this little book at arm's reach on my reference shelf.
The authors understand that a gentleman is loathe to call attention to himself. Good style is a way of allowing one's more important virtues to shine through without the distraction of bad taste.
The world could use a little more of that.
Gentleman.......2006-08-03
Flusser's "Dressing the Man" is vastly superior in terms of both content and comprehensiveness. Generally speaking, I found the "Gentelemen" book series to be either common sense or just plain wrong. If you want a very short reference guide, though, this is better than nothing.
Great Additional Resource.......2005-08-15
I bought this for my husband (the dapper clothes horse) just because I saw it in my Gold Box. He is a strict adherent to Flusser, so I took a risk and ordered this because it was low priced.
Turned out to be a great bargain, and a nice surprise that he enjoyed. While he says there was no revolutionary information, it was a good read and great additional resource. Definitely recommended!
Amusing and worthwhile.......2005-01-13
This book is both helpful and entertaining. Its style, which amounts to a compilation of aphorisms--some of them clever--makes it an easy read.
As a veteran of the East Coast button-down collar and navy-blue suit brigade, I was surprised to learn as much as I did about men's attire, although I didn't necessarily agree with everything the book has to offer. But the same was true with "How to Be a Gentleman," where, for example, the author says it's perfectly acceptable for a well-dressed gentlemen to go to church without socks. In "A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up," he devotes an amusing amount of ink to the subject of letting out waistlines to accommodate increases of girth and being prepared to mop up excesses of perspiration. Such curiosities can probably be attributed to the books' regional slant--am I right in assuming that the author is a Southerner?
If it sounds like what you need, this book is amusing and worthwhile, but be prepared for a few odd remarks that clearly come from a corpulent Southerner who sweats a lot.
Book Description
When Ayn Carrillo-Gailey confronted her boyfriend about his porn habit, he pronounced her "pornophobic." Determined to prove she wasn't phobic, simply more enlightened, Ayn set out to learn all she could about this phenomenon. Like any good researcher, she added her new quest to her daily To-Do list:
1. Drop off dry cleaning
2. Call Mom
3. Visit sex toy store on Melrose
Acting as an amateur anthropologist introduced Ayn to a world populated by everyday people. Her quest aroused the curiosity of her female friends: her knitting group quickly turned into informal information sessions, as the women—single or married, involved or not—were desperate for information.
What does XXX mean vs. un-rated?
What's the difference between topless dancers and strip clubs?
Why is some of it actually not that stimulating? And why are men obsessed with it?
Along the way, Ayn ditched the porn-obsessed boyfriend, and learned that one should not try to make change from a stripper's G-string tips, nor is the Hustler store the best place to make a first impression on a hot guy. Pornology is the result of one woman's quest to pierce the veil that modestly covers something many women actually want to know about. Suprising, hilarious, informative, and ultimately non-judgmental, this narrative is one readers won't put down—once they admit they're curious enough to pick it up!
Customer Reviews:
I laughed out loud!.......2007-09-11
I truly laughed out loud while reading parts of this book. I wouldn't say it groundbreaking, but it's an enjoyable read.
Entertaining and easy to read.......2007-08-30
This is an excellent summer read, with elements of laughter and disaster. It seems like a lot of the situations are real, but I can imagine that they are overdrawn to make the reader laugh.
All in all, it's a light-hearted and funny book, not master literature, but nobody is expecting that.
Hilarious and happy-making!.......2007-08-23
I really enjoyed this book much more than I expected. I found it by chance while browsing in the library and didn't realize how funny it was going to be! I laughed out loud several times, so hard I could barely keep reading the rest of the scene sometimes. It was in the non-fiction section, but in the small type behind the title page, it said that certain situations were altered for dramatic effect, so it's hard to know what was really true. It seems like the overall storyline and characters' relationships were probably close to the truth, which made me smile at the end. As a Chinese American, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the writer was also (half) Chinese.
Hilarious!.......2007-08-22
When Ayn Carrillo-Gailey's boyfriend accuses her of being pornophobic, she sits down and creates a "porn to do list." It includes visiting a strip club, testing vibrators, and ten other items she, as a self-described "good girl", is curious about but has never experienced. The result is this book; a laugh-out-loud memoir of her journey through the adult entertainment industry.
Her writing is honest and she, along with her always entertaining friends the Naughty Knitters, hold nothing back as they explore subjects that are sometimes taboo and always interesting. You'll learn what goes on behind the scenes at a brothel, how much you should tip for a lap dance, and that laughing during sex is a good thing!
One chapter worth mentioning is when she was inspired by Morgan Spurlock's documentary "Super Size Me" and decides to consume nothing but porn for two weeks. She turns off NPR and tunes into Howard Stern. She is coaxed into eating lunch at Hooters by a friend who insists she should eat at "porn-related food venues." Finally, she receives over 100 porn videos from her supportive friends with imaginative titles like Clitty Clitty Gang Bang and A Clockwork Orgy, that are playing almost constantly. In the end, she's a little burnt out and a box of porn has crashed down on top of her latest crush, but she's found out a lot more about her own desires. She's also inspired by her latest experiment, and invites the aforementioned crush to a viewing where she is greatly rewarded.
Overall, the book is a quick, entertaining read that I would recommend to anyone who is curious about the sex industry or just looking for a good time!
LOVED this book.......2007-07-31
What a great read. I laughed aloud so many times my husband demanded to read the book the second I finished. I will never think wheat-free waffles or porn in the same way again!
