Great leaps into a man's world.

This book was interesting to see how in the animal kingdom, there is a lot of sexual diversity, and the males and females of each species are cared for equally in the group. I was disappointed that Erna found it necessary to bring in a quote from the bible, Corinthians, to show that women were kept down and in their box in that era. What that verse meant was that women weren't allowed to discuss or argue biblical meanings in the church with the men. That was to be done at home. I think that would have been because the men were educated in the church ways whereas the women weren't. It still shows that the women were not given the same rights as men but what it doesn't show is that women weren't allowed to sing and young men were castrated so they could sing with a boy soprano voice.
I was also disappointed that there weren't so many stories of zoo keeping. I was hoping it would be like a James Harriot of zoo keeping book.
Cultural practices have discriminated against women through the ages and continue to do so but it there has been great headway and continues to be. I thank Erma for being one of the women who fought for the right to be treated respectfully in that all male domain.

A true gem!

Sometimes in movies you see a bookstore with nearly everything you want, staff full of knowledge and knowing advice. That place feels like magic. This is that place

An insightful and moving story told through the etes of a young woman struggling with anxiety. The end is hopeful, though, as she seeks support and learns to live with her condition.

I liked the title

This is a bit-of-fun filler book you can pick up and put down at anytime. I lived the historical context and Indigenous focus.

A life changing tool...

I first started using the Monk Manual three years ago buying through Soul Tread.

It took a while, but once I got into the swing of things it was truly transformative.

More than just a tool, it's part of an amazing ecosystem of curriculum and community that gives you everything you need to accelerate your monastic journey.

It may seem a little pricey, but the return on investment is such that I think you'd be foolish not to give it a go.

Remember it's a tool - and the tool serves the work.
