Book Description
Manual for Women is for women who seek to grow closer to Christ and his Blessed Mother, for women who seek to discover or rediscover what it means to be a woman after God's own heart. In Part I, noted Catholic author Danielle Bean, using examples from Scripture, the lives of the saints, and modern life, reminds women of today to embrace and cultivate their distinctive gifts: Receptivity, or an openness and welcoming spirit toward others.Sensitivity, or an ability to see and understand the needs and feelings of others. Compassion, or an instinct to suffer with and alleviate the suffering of others. Beauty, or the recognition that the female body is a reflection of her great capacity for nurturing, whether she ever becomes a mother physically or not. Generosity, or an extraordinary capacity for self-giving love. She also reminds readers that they will embrace those gifts most perfectly if they imitate that most immaculate of women, Mary of Nazareth. Bean concludes with practical advice which every woman, whatever her state in life, will benefit from. In Part II, readers will be nourished by the depth and richness of the Catholic tradition's teaching on women. Church documents, wisdom of the saints, relevant passages from Scripture, wisdom from today's Catholic women, prayers, and hymns will inspire, delight, and edify women, young and old, single and married, consecrated to God in the religious life or a member of the laity. Now, perhaps more than ever, women need to be women. But what it means to be a woman has been so distorted by the various ideologies that the modern world imposes. Manual for Women serves as a reminder to women that authentic femininity (and, yes, authentic feminism) springs from an embrace, rather than a spurning, of the great and unique gifts God has bestowed on them, whether they be married or single, in religious life or a laywomen, a homemaker or a women who works outside the home, or, as so many women in today's hectic world are, some combination thereof!

Women: the Ownership Manual
Author: Logan Alexander
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780615942377
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Third International Edition (March, 2014) In this concise and provocative guide to owning a woman, author Logan Alexander details the vital elements of possessing a female in the most extreme ways. The formal manual covers the aspects of introducing a woman to ownership, daily rituals, mental ownership, breaking in a woman, discipline, body modification, oral training and sexual gratification training. Author's Note: "The spirit of this manual is guided by the intense urge of a man to possess a woman in the deepest of ways. For some individuals, a normal relationship devoid of the extreme polarities of emotional, psychological and sexual experience that merge in dominance and submission play is akin to a death sentence of mediocrity. He wants her and her body so fully that he wants to make her his actual physical property. She wants to be craved and desired so badly that she wants to be made his real human possession. In a post-feminist world, women chose to be owned and self-made men want to own their women in fresh new ways. They reject traditional relationships and long for a kind of cosmic completeness that transforms daily life into rituals of kinetic connection and deviant eroticism. The manual is written primarily as a concise guide for men seeking to own a woman and women seeking to be owned by a man within a certain creative space of the BDSM realm. It is not a general relationship guide for every Dominant-submissive couple in the scene. It is inspired by the same masculine creative energies that gave rise to confrontational works of art and ancient traditions of phallic worship. It is but one subjective vision of living a life of creative control with a woman. It includes both broad strokes and extremely particular ideas. Yet, it also serves as a source of inspiration for men and women in any relationship as the desire to possess and be possessed is universal, even if it is only a small force within the complex dynamics of a normal relationship. Regular people have always fed on the excessive proclivities of those on the fringe of society and reality. The style of this work is formal for it is meant as a thought-provoking source from which to draw ideas and inspire fresh deviance. It is not, though, a how-to-guide on sophisticated rope tying techniques, ways of spanking, types of bondage or other technical BDSM skills. Real world experiences are included from first-hand experiences and direct conversations with men who own women and women who are owned by men. The practices are meant as ideal extremes of ownership to be used as one desires in the dynamic reality of an individual relationship."

The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness
Author: Florence Hartley
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
In preparing a book of etiquette for ladies, I would lay down as the first rule, "Do unto others as you would others should do to you." You can never be rude if you bear the rule always in mind, for what lady likes to be treated rudely? True Christian politeness will always be the result of an unselfish regard for the feelings of others, and though you may err in the ceremonious points of etiquette, you will never be impolite. Politeness, founded upon such a rule, becomes the expression, in graceful manner, of social virtues. The spirit of politeness consists in a certain attention to forms and ceremonies, which are meant both to please others and ourselves, and to make others pleased with us; a still clearer definition may be given by saying that politeness is goodness of heart put into daily practice; there can be no _true_ politeness without kindness, purity, singleness of heart, and sensibility.
