"I was honored to have an opportunity to read a prepublication copy of Mike Kelly's book Leaderfluence-what a treat!! It was inspiring to read about the journey of a humble man who has achieved so much. His statements of conviction on the essentials of service and ethics in today's world are reassuring. Those of us connected to Mars Hill University are thankful for the role his Alma Mater played in his life and greatly appreciate his contributions to the University."
