Books By Dedrick
"Hey Man, We Just Talkin': A Daily Conversation with Young Men" is a mentoring book that can serve as a daily reader. This daily reader contains 22 passages that we call "conversations." These conversations are designed to inspire and challenge their assumptions about their maleness and what being a man is all about. The discussions cover topics such as education, love, money, responsibility, grit, relationships, respect, faith, death, and many other issues from the male perspective.
The conversations also include reactions from other male friends of mine on the topics and how it has played out in their lives as men. It's meant to be a quick read that could be used to start the day, be a mid-day encourager, or a way to end the day in reflection and growth.
This book can be used by schools, mentors, parents, or groups that focus on young men as a supplement to the work you are already doing. It can also be given as a gift to a young man. This book is not meant to diminish the role of hard-working and self-sacrificing women by any means. It's intended to highlight, for young men, the critical role they should and eventually play in the lives of their families and their communities as men.
