By: Anthony P. Carter, Denzel Washington - foreword

Narrated by: Kevin Howard

A life of faith. A journey through adversity. A call to live with courage.

From the streets of the South Bronx to the boardrooms of Fortune 100 companies, Anthony P. Carter’s extraordinary life is a testament to the power of faith, friendship, and purpose. As a Black Catholic leader shaped by a Jesuit education, Carter has faced the hard truths about race and identity in America, all while staying rooted in an unshakable devotion to God.

Carter blends moving personal stories with spiritual insights and corporate wisdom, offering listeners a rare perspective on what it means to lead with dignity and compassion. With a powerful foreword by the author’s lifelong friend Denzel Washington, this book is a bold and unflinching guide to living with meaning, resilience, and joy.

Whether you are a person of faith seeking affirmation, a student searching for your place in the world, or an ally determined to understand and uplift others, Carter’s story meets you with honesty, inspiration, and the courage to believe in what is possible.

Authenticity at its best

Having had the honor to meet & work with Anthony, in an albeit limited capacity at J&J, this book gave me a better glimpse into the life of the man I came to respect and admire deeply. This book rekindled my flame, my passion, to ensure that I answer every “knock on the door.” Thank you Anthony for continuing to inspire me to be a better father, employer, friend & man of faith.
