- Dear Mr. Whyte,
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for walking the journey that you are on. I was in Wal-Mart looking for a gift for a co-worker. While looking through the aisles, I came across your book, Letters To Young Black Men. I am an adamant reader, and I am trying to move my son in this direction. My son has been having some discipline and focus issues. I have been seeking out different possible mentor programs for him, but so far I have not come up with anything. Well, I saw your book and my son just came to mind. I began to read some of the letters and chapter titles and immediately made the purchase. I am going to give him the book as a Christmas gift to hopefully add to the interest of reading it. My son is 12 years old and very smart. I work with him all the time and make frequent visits to his school to try and stay on top of things; however, I want to ensure I am doing all I can to help my son succeed. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you again, and God bless!

- Mr. Whyte,
I just finished reading your book, LETTERS TO YOUNG BLACK MEN and I am writing to commend you and thank you for writing it. I am making a list of folks that will be getting your book as a Christmas gift. And that includes my own two sons. Thank you for the manner/style that it was
written in: personable, real, to the point, and with obvious love. I imagine that this writing style will easily be accepted from a male point of view. From a female point of view, it really touched my heart. I have a son who is currently in prison, 16 years, but will be coming home soon. Your book, along with a few others, i.e; the BIBLE, will give instruction and help to get him re-started in the right direction. Thank you again and God bless.

- Hello, my name is Mrs. S. Jackson:
I have a girlfriend who recommended this book to me for my son. Her husband was killed by a very troubled young black man in a traffic accident. I would like this information for our church group. The book Letters to Young Black Men, we will be ordering for the young men of our youth group as well as the fathers, group leaders, etc.
Thank You.
Do you have any books for young black females? Or do you have any recommendations of books for young black females?
- "This book is an inspirational work for the reader. It explores the three aspects of life that causes conflicts and problems in the life of young men: the spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects of life that for so long has gone unaddressed are delved into in detail. Although the book talks about young
black men, this is a lesson for all young men."
-D. L. Spellman,
Texas Wesleyan University
- I picked up this book in a gas station somewhere between North Carolina and Virginia. I have a 19-year old away at school. He was brought up in the church and, quite honestly, he likes going to church. We’ve never had problems getting him to participate in church activities. So I feel he has the religious roots to stand on. However, being away from home, I know he is being challenged in his church attendance. More importantly, I want him to “know the Lord,” not just attend church. Flipping through the book at the store aroused enough of my interest to purchase it. I read it first before giving it to my son and was even more impressed. That is when I ordered 10 more to give to my husband, pastor, nephews, cousins, and brother-in-law, who is being deployed to Kuwait. I gave the book to my son the week before his Spring Break and told him I expected him to read it once, twice or as many times as necessary over Spring Break to get the message. He truly surprised me and called to tell me he was almost done with it the week I gave it to him. My note inside the book said to him to pass it on to a friend
if it benefitted him. He said he had highlighted so much of the book, he wanted to keep his and could I send him 2 more to give to his room mates. (Yesterday he wanted 2 more for others who saw him reading it.) I have not heard from my nephews that I gave it to. They may need a little more encouragement to read it, but that’s why I gave it to them. They truly need “encouragement for a difficult journey”. Every Black young man that I know I want to share this with them and their parents. Some co-workers
asked for some too. I teach Sunday School, ages 8-11, and I will use the section entitled, “Things I wished someone had told me at age 12” with my class.
