I’m not one for self-help books. I simply don’t get them and consider them a waste of time. When I was contacted to review Kip Kreiling’s book, The Imposter
The Imposter
Kip was a victim of child abuse, violence, drug abuse, etc. By the time he was 14, he had been arrested more times than you could count on both hands. He dropped out of school, ran away from home, became a drug dealer and he struggled to fill the emptiness left in his life by doing things many of us never would even think of. As I was reading, I felt sorry for Kip. I tried to put myself in his situation. Would I have done things differently. I just kept thinking to myself how alone and empty he must have felt during this time in his life.
The book contains 8 principals to help guide you to a positive transformation. What I really liked about it is that its more than a self-help book. Kip opens up and tells about the worst times of his life. He leaves himself vulnerable and his honesty is truly eye opening. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for Kip to open up and share his life story.
It wasn’t easy for Kip, but he has turned his life around by using these 8 principles. He went from a teenage drug dealer who was in and out of the juvenile system to a high-paid executive in corporate America!
I highly recommend this book! According the the 5-star ratings on Amazon, I’m not the only one who thinks this book is a must read!

Hmmm…I really don’t know of anyone in my life who would benefit from this. Wait, maybe I do: First I would read it for myself (because I’m a total bookworm), then I would give it to the youth pastor of my church. He might know of someone who could benefit from it.

I know a group of people who work with juveniles in local detention centers. I would love to send a copy of this book with them!

Me and my friends would benefit from reading this book… we’re complete bookworms and memoirs are my favorite genre. I learn from other people’s life lessons and try to remember them and apply them in my own life.
I think my little brother would benefit a great deal from reading this book. There was a big age gap between us, and when my mom got sick he was very little. I know he’s a good kid, sometimes he just needs to be reminded that he CAN do it and he doesn’t have to sell himself short.
