About the Series

This Mentored from Above series of books are God inspirational stories, lessons, sonnets, that reflect on the author’s life and how he was influenced by many of his friends and mentors throughout his life and how they helped him to be better at all encounters. 

Our closest relationships and the lessons we learn often shape our character and invigorate our actions. They motivate us to live greater lives. Truly, the hand of God touched these stories which are written in sonnet form to further bring them to life. The author shows what it’s like to have paid attention; to have accepted the advice of his mentors; to have applied that advice; to have received ongoing attention; to have lifetime friendships; and ultimately, what it’s like to have lived a “Mentored Life.”

There are few activities that can so affect a person’s personal and professional growth as engaging in a mentoring relationship. It is, when properly done, a relationship exercise that can be wonderfully influential and life-shaping. Keith Lilek’s life is a testament to this concept. It takes many people and experiences over a lifetime to mold us into who we are. Are you happy with who you’ve become? Keith is. He is the culmination of many God-inspired mentors placed in his life at various times to lead him to greatness. He didn’t always get it right, but they accepted him for who he is. 

These books are for them . . . to show them that he paid attention.
