Good stuff

We have all said at on time or another I wish somebody had told me . . ., well this the information our young men can benifit from that many of us missed out on in our youth. This is an excellent resource. But it remains true no book can teach unless it is opened and read. I highly recommend this work to any and all those who are concerned about elevating the status, thinking and position of Black men in this society and the eyes of a just GOD who expects and encourages us to love and show love.

I give the book a 5/5 rating. The book was a very formal book and I would suggest this reading for the male and even the female gender. Shipping was very prompt. Would definitely recommend!!!

Let me start by saying that any material that helps in the development of the black male is something I am drawn to. There are many obstacles so a blueprint for my black male child can only aid in his growth. Also, he loves Hill Harper and has read his previous book, ‘Letters to a Young Brother’ so he was excited to read this book.He LOVED it! Throughout each chapter he would asked questions, shared thoughts and state affirmations. He learned a lot. Therefore, I do highly recommend this book to all. Enjoy!

I purchased a copy of this book for each of my sons. As an African American mother raising sons as a single parent, I reached out for all things that would help to prepare my sons for manhood as a black man in America. Great read!!

Kevin Powell’s book, The Black Male Handbook is a collection of essays that provide insight and instruction on how black males can transform their lives from mediocrity and turmoil to success and peace of mind.I like the fact that the book covers areas such as spirituality, health, finances, mental health, political awarness and relationships. Presenting the information in the form of essays made it an effective and user friendly book.There were many concepts and recommendations that resonated with me. First, I liked the fact that the first essay talked about establishing a spiritual foundation because that’s the key to transforming your life in all other areas. Loved the following quote in the book,”Spirituality is the manifestation of this divine connection in one’s daily life.”Unfortunately too many people don’t practice what they preach and I love the fact that this book is focused on changing nonproductive behaviors into life-enhancing ones.Secondly, I was glad to see that the book discussed redefining black man hood where black men are encouraged to ask for help and to express their feelings. Contrary to popular opinion, getting help is strength, not weakness. More black males need to recognize that.Further, I was impressed that the contributing authors were men enough to talk about their past mistakes and use them as opportunities to grow.Kevin Powell’s essay was particularly moving. I admire his courage to discuss his story of domestic violence and how he was able to learn from it and to become a better man.Lastly, I am glad that the book embraces the philosophy of ‘each one teach one’ and also embraces the attitude of collectively moving forward as a Black Community and being accountable to each other.This handbook serves as a great guide to helping black men from all walks of life realize their inherent greatness and to walk the Earth as the Kings that they are.John HindsAuthor of “What’s In Your Water?”

I truly sincerely think this is one of the best books I have ever read! I think the timing for me to come across this book was perfect. I would recommend any fairly young black male read this book. You will not waste your time reading this book.

I bought this book for my 21 year old son and he loves it! Astonishing for a mom because usually he thinks I’m over doing it with advise because “He knows everything”. The book is such a hit he has been recommended it to all members of his Clique/Crew. It will now be my staple gift to young black man and some older ones in my travels. A must read for men and women.

Young African males growing up without a father figure or without positive male figures in their lives. I plan on buying this book for every young male I know. It’s such an encouraging book boys need to read. Well written.
herschelle reaves –
I bought this book for a young brother incarcerated who happens to be the father of my grandson. I am hoping he reads this. I am also buying a copy for my daughter…..
ZZ –
This is a must read for every black male and every single mother with black male children… I enjoyed this book and I will be purchasing more to distribute out to all the black males that I know will read it…
Rashida Schuler –
I never ever write reviews but this is a must read for all young black males who find themselves lost or searching for guidance. I will use this book as a reference for my Life Coaching practice. This book is AWESOME! You won’t regret this purchase.
Ryan C. Mack –
This book was a great example of how people in the community can come together to deliver a much needed message of empowerment. As one of the contributors, I was happy be involved within this project. I hope that my piece on financial literacy will be used by all who read it, and the entire book as well.My other book “Living in the Village” has a more expanded message the not only relates to Black Males…but ALL of America. It is time that all races, creeds, cultures, religions, and genders learn how to work together for true empowerment in ALL of America.
Brenda Grech –

CHRISTY GOUDEAU –
THIS BOOK SHOULD BE IN ALL SCHOOLS REQUIRED READING!! BUT THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH LIKE RIGHT NOW WOULD’T IT BE?
OnyxisKing –
An amazing read. A must read for all black men; Teachers, Mentors, Brothers (Young and Old), Cousins, any brother that has a responsibility and an opportunity to influence a young man’s mind. I found this book taking me on an introspective journey and make decisions on how my life has been influenced. Moreover, how I wish the rest of my life to be seen by others who follow me. A necessary read for all brothers coming of age.

Great book for young black men that need direction…
D.T. –
A great tool to direct young men (men period) towards moral conduct. Gives insight to various religions and how we should approach life in the decisions we make, our responsibilities, accountablility to others, economic empowerment, health, etc. Encouragement for black young men, inspirational for all.
Dwayne McClellan –
A handbook for young and Mature Black MenI have read and then re-read this book, I did like the fact that the ideas were presented with quotes for the bible. One idea tha black men must start embracing our woman and stop fighting with them. And as black men we have to stop fighting each other. During this Black history month and every month after that we have have to stop fighting each other This country hasn’t had a decent conversation on race.This is where we come in, Using books like these we can initiate conversations with our sons and nephews and mentoring projects. I highly recomend this book to any black man who’s in the proccess of putting thier life in order. At no matter what stage of thier life.

This was one of two books that I gave my adult son as a Christmas gift. He loved it. His sister told me he said it was life changing.

My 13 year old is reading this book and already quoting from it during our “debates”!!!! Excellent. Would definitely recommend.

This collection of essays (written mostly by Black Gen. Xers) covers a lot of ground. It runs the gamut from spirituality to Financial Literacy. It’s packed with insightful ways for black males to conduct themselves and take care of their health.I gave this book to my teenage son, hoping he’ll glean the wisdom from the pages.
Mr. Listener –
I’ve been waiting to read this book for a long time, and it really hits home with a lot of the subjects that are focused on. In my opinion great read for any young man growing up in this time.
Joshua Jones –
It is rare when I find a book that I can read all the way through. This book has great advice for young black men. Every young black man should read this book.

A very good book that opens your eyes to the world of young black males and some of the struggles they/we have to endure. It also helps parents of young black males figure out how to guide them. A lot of great views from some very profound black males and leaders.

Since I been a avid follower and supporter of Kevin Powell, I couldn’t put it down and it really re-fresh my mind to what it’s real and what’s going on today with our real Black Men of today and tomorrow, both past and present and especially the future.This is greatly a Hands up to me since it’s more than a book or self-help book, it’s probably a good manual.Great thank you to him, the contributors and the people who made this book possible for those who need to hear the real message that’s empowering can help lift many lives right now. Whether you’re a single parent, a married man, a friend, a co-worker, student, associate or whatever that you’re in trouble and have no clue to start, then I strongly advise you should read this book. It won’t hurt nor disappoint you.I also recommend Hill Harper’s

Great read

This book is a must read for every black male in the USA. I loved the book and its so motivational. It should be a requirement for high school students especially those born and raised without a father.
