Book Description
“Chivalry-Now, The Code of Male Ethics”, asks a simple question: what does it mean to be a man? When a culture fails to answer that properly, the results can be disastrous. For men it can lead to broken identity, overcrowded prisons, spousal abuse, gang violence, chemical addiction and aggressive, anti-social tendencies that wreck havoc all over the world. For women it can mean living in a suppressed environment where involvement is marginalized, and relationships bring more sorrow than joy. Using medieval chivalry as a springboard, this book leads the reader into a thought-provoking quest for values long ignored. By incorporating freedom, personal authenticity, democracy and equality (including feminism), this new form of chivalry is entirely relevant for today’s world.
Editorial Reviews
Review
What D. Joseph Jacques has written strikes me as the sort of thing that draws readers intoA” the weave, instead of keeping them on the edging of the fabric. Makes them participators, not spectators. (Bruce Harper, Director of La Confrerie du Pelerinage Sacre, Australia) Chivalry-Now hits at the heart of what it means, and always has meant, to be a man. It’s a sure road map for men. It promises to improve men, those they love, and the whole of society. (Daniel Murphy, President/CEO Community Works, Medford, Oregon, USA)
About the Author
