"When I think of Keith Lilek I think of the words commitment and leadership. He is deeply committed to Jesus, the Catholic faith, his wife, children, and friends. His leadership is a model for all of us in his work life, family life and faith life. It is a blessing to have Keith continuing to lead so many of us by utilizing the great gifts God has given him.”

Matt Kemnitz

“Keith Lilek has become a good friend to me. We met in a men’s Bible study in 2018. We began playing some golf together, and that’s when I really got to know him. I found him to be humorous, energetic, and a great storyteller. As time went on, he showed me that he is a great family man, had been a very successful businessman, and has a passion for his walk with God. His passion for writing shows all of these traits in the stories he tells.”

“I’ve known Keith for twenty-five years, and I have followed his career, his family, and the spirit of mentoring that has been a major part of his life. I have a particular passion for learning about the lives of the saints, those who have lived lives of “heroic virtue.” In these books, Keith shares his tips and inspirations on how you, too, can follow the path to become a saint.”

“I have known Keith for over fifty years—a half-century! Keith and I have been best friends since the seventh grade. Lasting friendships are something you just don’t see very often in this world anymore! This is a testament to Keith and the person he is.”

Bill Stahlke

“I have known Keith Lilek for almost twenty-five years and consider him a close friend—in spite of his affection for The Three Stooges. I admire Keith for his honesty and integrity, but even more for his devotion to his God and his devout Catholicism, which is rare in this secular society.”

George Young

Overland Park, KS

“I have known Keith for more than twenty years. He has always been deeply committed to his family, his faith, and his business endeavors. I am deeply inspired by his writing and the way he is utilizing his top-flight business acumen to clearly communicate the “how tos” of living out one’s faith and inspiring us with poignant “whys.” ”

Deacon Dana Nearmyer

Archdiocese of Kansas City, KS

“Keith walks his faith every day as a genuine follower of Christ. He is an example for others without a hint of virtue-signaling, and I am inspired by the love he has for his family and his dedication to his marriage. His sense of humor is an acquired taste—as is mine—with an ability to find humor in almost any situation.”

Dave Mehrer

“The Lilek family gets satisfaction from what they do because they enjoy doing it. Enthusiastic people have traits and values that explore the mind. These books of Keith’s will help you explore your mind and I hope you read them with great enthusiasm! Good Luck, good health, and God Bless!”

“I have had the privilege of watching Keith grow personally, professionally, and most important of all spiritually. Keith has raised four wonderful children. His family has always been extremely important to him. He has a great sense of humor and always finds a way to put a positive spin on what others may consider an undesirable situation—a fantastic character trait I wish I had!”

Bill Stahlke

“I have known Keith Lilek for several years as a neighbor, member of a Bible Study group I lead, fellow traveler to the Holy Land, and occasional golf buddy. In my first encounter with Keith, I found him to be boisterous, self-promotional, and a bit rude! However, as time went on, I’ve discovered that there is lots more to Keith than my first impression. Now, several years in, I find him to be very thoughtful, a loving family man, passionate about his faith, and full of compassion for others, not least the little, the lost, and the marginalized.”

Jeff Kirby

Director of Ministries

Alpha Lighthouse, Overland Park, KS

“Keith Lilek is a man of passion—for God, for God’s Word, for God’s Church, for his wife and children, and for his friends. Keith feels deeply and writes from the gut. You will feel the tears and laughter that attend his work, and you might join him in those emotions. Keith is my friend. As you read, sense his soul. He might become your friend too.”

Bill Ryan

“Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard!” There I was, a surgeon, watching The Three Stooges in scrubs and their antics with a bunch of fourth grade boys and a few dads at a pizza party in Keith Lilek’s basement. That was Mentoring 101 for me: Keith introducing the boys to these masters of mirth and mayhem while personally demonstrating virtuosity as a father and friend. ”

Paul J. Camarata

“Keith has a heart and passion for God, and he lives his life that way. He has compassion for others and is someone you can always count on to be there for you in any situation. These writings are Keith at his current best: genuinely appreciative of all those who have mentored him on his life’s journey and now sharing these lessons for the benefit of others. I am confident you will enjoy Keith’s writings as much as I have!”

Bill Stahlke

Miami, FL

“Keith’s writings won’t reflect perfection, but they will reflect the spirit of a man who has humbly learned many lessons only worth hearing if that man comes out on the other side more committed to his faith, family, and friends. Keith came out on the other side.”

Patrick Concannon

President, Traders Auto Insurance

“From everyday interactions to friendship and family relations, Keith has always been a spiritual person, and his faith and family mean everything to him. I have watched Keith grow a business, build a family, and give of himself to others in ways that few have done.”

Joe Azevedo

“It is with the utmost confidence, and pride, that I reflect upon the character, grace, sincerity, integrity, and talent of Keith Lilek. Keith and I have been great friends since September of 1993. I have watched his consistency, love of family, strength of faith and commitment to keeping his word, throughout this 28 year period. He is certainly in the category of the Renaissance man: artist, poet, athlete, accomplished entrepreneur, devoted man of God, and loving husband and father. ”

Dan Sarver, Author

“Terri has been Keith’s foundation that has held their family so close and helped each member to have a relationship with God that they have today. Enthusiasm is what comes to mind when I think of the Lilek family. My definition of enthusiasm is intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.”

John L. Caton

Overland Park, KS

“I have known Keith for just about 4 years. I’m proud to call him my friend. I do believe he is writing from his heart and any time when a person does that it can be very inspiring to other people. My prayer for Keith writing is that it will inspire people to seek Jesus Christ and he becomes their savior.”

Rev. Lewis Hurtt

Kansas City, MO

“I’ve known Keith for about twelve years through working for and with him in his company. Keith has always had the best intentions for the people around him and makes sure he takes good care of them. He mentors and helps however he can. I know God is bringing him to a new chapter in life with his writing, and I look forward to seeing more of his speaking from his heart.”

Jeff Kohnz

Artist, Holt, MO

“Keith has shown himself to be humble enough to take advice and confident enough to act on it, so I think the title of his new series is fitting. He is also courageous about his faith. He kept a picture of Jesus on the wall above his desk at work to remind him of the Lord’s omnipresence, but also for comfort and support, a tribute to his ultimate mentor, as it should be. I’m proud to say he’s my friend and proud of this accomplishment of his.”

Dave Mehrer

Kansas City, MO

“Keith Lilek and I met in 1999 when he helped charter the Johnson Count Serra Club. Serra is an organization that supports men and women who have become or are discerning the priesthood or religious life. Keith and Terri have a beautiful family that has always been a priority for the two of them. ”

“I like Keith. His writing life lessons in sonnet form is a pleasant surprise. Very entertaining and thought provoking. Keith has tackled the ever crowded field of inspirational writing in a fun and amusing way with sonnets, clever illustrations, scripture, and reflections to ponder their influence in our lives. Nice work!”

Brian Sullivan

Bestselling Author and Radio Host

“Upon reading several of his sonnets I have concluded that his reflections and thoughts are so appropriately put to the pen. The subjects are varied but they consistently reflect the same prose style. Deep thought, writing style and sentence construction demonstrate a unique talent, talent in which publishers would most certainly pursue. ”
