A Hand to Guide Me

A Hand to Guide Me"In my neighborhood the Boys Club was the center of everything. It was my whole world, just about, from the time I was 6 years old."

Denzel Washington
A Hand to Guide Me

Guiding, Shaping and Inspiring
Boys & Girls Clubs of America spokesperson Denzel Washington knows that you "don't go it alone." As a young boy, Washington found hope, purpose and direction from his local Boys Club. He attributes much of his success to Billy Thomas, a caring staff member at his local Club.

In A Hand to Guide Me, the Academy Award-winning actor shares the positive influences from his boyhood which helped to shape and guide him. More than 70 legends and leaders also reflect on the mentors who made a dramatic difference in their lives.

So many share their personal stories in this special book: Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg, Phil Jackson, Hank Aaron, Muhammad Ali, John Antioco, Yogi Berra, Wesley Clark, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Fr. Monk Malloy, Joe Morgan, Toni Morrison, Colin Powell, Bonnie Raitt, Cal Ripken Jr., Bernard Shaw, George Steinbrenner, Ruben Studdard, John Wooden and many more.

Available at national retailers, A Hand to Guide Me reminds us of the importance of caring adults in every child's life. Get your copy today, and share the gift of mentorship with friends and family.
