"...sometime when you start to rea a book, you can not get into it for the first two or three charpters. Then as I was reading I thought, do I know these people? This is like church folks, we have to go eat somewhere after church. Then as I read on, this is everyday life. People in the church are losing jobs, hurting, and hiding the pain. The lies need ot be exposed...And the way you stop it..." Girl, write on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I really enjoyed the book and read it hte same night I purchased it. once I started reding I couldn't stop because I had to know what happen next. It was exciting and emotional and I can't wait for the squel!"

"The Book was a roller coaster ride of emotions. Full of suspense, laughs, tears and pure joy. The story lines are believable an dthe characters seemed to be living their lives in front of your very eyes. Families whose lives are connected in more ways than one. Chasing wealth and materialistic gain all in the midst of their weekly Sunday routines (hmm! can't wait to see if ti's real or just going through the motions).
Their life fueled by the affects of lust and deceptioin certainly keeps your attention. The life lessons they will have to endure are the one that will destroy or strengthen families and friendships. Boundaries are defintely crossed and how these families survive will be a testament of their faith."

"Your book was great!! I really enjoyed reading it...actually I read it in two days couldn't put it down for too long. NOW, you left me on the edge when is the sequel coming out!!"

You've rendered an excellent program of empowerment. Very nicely done! Good flow. Nice overlaps between key topics. I especially liked the areas where you completely turn loose and throw the fire of your personality into it. That fire is "you" and makes the book. Very impressive methodology. Keep it up!

I think your book so far is well laid out, easy to read, interactive and engaging. Each chapter I've read, entices me to participate in the process and the activities. It's very applicable to life, not just work.

“Author Holly Spence has captured the heart of the matter for leadership aspirations in any arena. The scenarios gently pierce the heart as she discusses the hidden thoughts and motivations that we must all deal with as we endeavor to become mature and assume leadership roles, whether designated or situational. A great easy and introspective read for developing leaders or should I say servants”.
I believe the author has captured the "heart" of the matter regarding leadership. While it's a short easy read, it's a powerful tool for leaders.

To my mentor and friend,
"Like oil is to a car, my daily heart checks will help to keep me living longer, which in turn will lead me to serve even longer". Your timely written book, Servant Leadership The Heart That Serves has given me a vision toward a serving heart. I am now looking for my Butler, my Baker, and my Pharaoh toward the progress of my success.

“You have hit the nail on the head. The leadership of the church needs to read your book. I am excited about the CD that is coming out”

“Mrs. Spence I just finished your book, and I am going to re-read it. I saw myself within the first chapter, and numerous places throughout the book. I have always strived to stay under the radar and not draw attention to myself. I freely give to others and do not want praises or gifts in return. I now know that all of the things I do are for the wrong reason. I have been doing this because I could and I somehow was getting satisfaction from always giving more than others because I could. I have been doing the right thing for the wrong reason. I have allowed strife in my home because I resented not being recognized for all that I do. I often ask God, “Why my husband doesn't do what he is supposed to do, he has become a leech”. I have never allowed him the opportunity to do what he is supposed to do because I always fix things; somehow it is easier to just fix it than it is to discuss it or to allow God to help him grow into the man he is supposed to be. I have been stunting his growth and my own happiness. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is worst than doing nothing at all. All my life I have felt I did not deserve to be happy, because I never was; now I believe I have never been truly happy because I did not want to be. I have been trying to fix things instead of stepping back and letting God work in my life. WOW, what a revelation. Thank you for it is I who received the greatest gift, and now comes the hard part, one of my favorite scriptures is the 10th verse of Psalms 46 “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. I look forward to getting this on audio and to your next book.
