Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! (Psalm 133:1 ESV)

DALLAS — Approximately a decade ago, Dr. Belay D. Reddick Sr. began browsing the pages of The Charlotte Observer, which boasts the second largest circulation of any newspaper in the Carolinas.
What he subsequently discovered was something that essentially rested upon his spirit for quite some time.
“It was an article I read in The Charlotte Observer newspaper, written Eric Frazier titled, ‘Two Boys. One Roof. One Left in School,’” Dr. Reddick told Making Headline News during a weekend interview. “It talked about only half of black males in North Carolina would graduate on time. Two best friends helped to show why and Danquirs Franklin was one of the featured in story.”
Interestingly and to his credit, such an intriguing and thought-provoking story essentially fueled Dr. Reddick’s desire to compose a rather empowering and informative book entitled, “There’s No Danger In The Water: Encouraging Black Men To Become Mentors,” an awe-inspiring written work that made its official debut in August 2013.

A book that is comprised of 98 pages in length, Dr. Reddick draws specifically on his experience as a prominent mentor coach during which he strategically provides practical advice on how to inspire African-American boys which, in turn, would affect positive change in their lives, according to a detailed synopsis of this writer’s book at Amazon.com.
According to Reddick, readers of that book would discover tips on everything from creating youth summits and working with the community, to employing effective topics in mentorship work and taking self-assessments.
“For every adult black male who wants to save a generation of lost black boys, ‘There’s No Danger In The Water’ will help you,” Dr. Reddick emphasized.
A book Dr. Reddick needed somewhere in the neighborhood of three years to assemble, “There’s No Danger In The Water: Encouraging Black Men To Become Mentors” acknowledged this book, by all accounts, has created a unique dialog, particularly with regards to how today’s black boys are raised in single parent homes. As a result of such a familiar trend, Dr. Reddick said more men have volunteered mentors.
“Fatherless black boys are at a loss for positive male role models,” Dr. Reddick said. “After reading the story about Danquirs Franklin, my purpose was to save a generation of lost black boys.”

Just recently, Dr. Reddick announced the forthcoming release of his second book. His project, “Now, Let Me Tell You How I Really Feel,” is scheduled to debut in April and will be available for purchase through S&B Company and Amazon.
“There’s No Danger In The Water: Encouraging Black Men To Become Mentors” is available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Authors House, and S & B Company.
“I would like to say that one of the greatest investments that we can make as adults is building into the lives of our young black men,” Dr. Reddick said. “I always believed that mentoring is the answer.”
