A Hand To Guide Me:  Legends and Leaders Celebrate the People Who Shaped Their Lives by Denzel Washington   272pgs

Excellent book.  Celebrities, Political Figures, Sports Champions, CEOs, etc. come together in this book to sing the praises of mentors in their lives who's help was beyond measure in aiding them to find the right path, to  overcome whatever struggles they were going through and to find their way by perservering.   Many of the people in the book thank their local Boys and Girls Clubs for sharing their time and concern during deeply troubling times in their lives and helping them to find the right path, giving them a needed hand up and proving no one has to go it alone. So many inspiring stories showing help comes from many different places and often from unexpected ones.   Family, friends, teachers, coaches, co-workers, bosses, even strangers can share that bon mot that can change a life,  get through to a mind that seemingly couldn't be changed and that can sink into a heart hardened by circumstances then melted by example.    Definetly worth the read.   I highly recommend it to young readers on up through the aged.   Inspiration is ageless.
