"Unusual, inspiring, thought-provoking. Reinvent Yourself is a wonderful story with implications for both the home and the work place. Send me twenty copies right away so my staff can read it."
- Bert Bleke, Superintendent (retired)

"Agent of Change is a remarkable book. While the subject matter is about change through management systems, the principles involved transcend its setting. The ideas John Murphy presents speak as powerfully to interpersonal relationships and volunteer organizations such as the Church as to becoming an agent of change within a business environment. I read it eagerly and have passed on copies to my friends. I recommend it highly."
- Rev. Gary T. Haller, First Church
