Good Guy Handbook: Comfort the Afflicted…Afflict the Comfortable

Tim Lyons

The Good Guy Handbook is about volunteerism. It begins as an invitation for the reader to become involved in some not for profit activity. It identifies numerous causes like feeding the needy, helping at-risk youth, protecting the environment, prison ministry, youth sports, etc. The book then describes what you can do individually or by hooking up with established organizations. The last section of the book gives specific ideas on how to improve a person’s not for profit skills. Tips are given on public speaking, running a meeting, managing and motivating other volunteers and selecting the appropriate fundraising program. Detailed instructions are given on planning and conducting a fundraising dinner to include preparing your own food. A three page food safety class is included that should be given to anyone that even infrequently finds themselves in a kitchen. The book is a call for people to feel a need to help out with something. Once called the volunteer is encouraged make use of their skills as they accept responsibility to not only do something good, but to do it efficiently. In the process the Good Guy receives the helper high as they have fun providing a much needed service.
