She won our hearts when she told us she was out to change the world. But Ann Kiemel Anderson discovered that success can be addictive, and soon she found that the world had changed her. Ann's first book in five years, Seduced By Success chronicles two major battles in her life: combating an addiction to the praise of others and overcoming an addiction to pain medication for a chronic illness. Drug-free for the last two years, Ann now shares heart-to-heart with her readers, saying, "I no longer want power and glory. God has given me a second chance to be used by Him. With quiet joy, I prepare to write something beautiful for God."
Seduced By Success

One of the crowd,
By A Customer
This review is from: Seduced By Success No Longer Addicted To Pills, Performance And Praise (Hardcover)
When I first read Ann Kiemel's books I was moved and found myself trying to measure up to her standard of perfection -- baking cookies, singing to people, running marathons, waiting for the perfect man, etc. It's hard enough to live a good life, but impossible to live a perfect one. When I found this book my jaw dropped as I read about her "real" life. Drugs, sex --- I was sure she was going to confess to listening to Pink Floyd. It is a good book to read if you have ever felt less of a person because you were striving for perfection. Ann really opened up and I hope today she is happy. I look forward to the next installment in her life's journies.

Ann, we barely knew you,

And I think I like her even better after this book. I've readall of her other ones and she is an inspiration. She is also verymelodramatic, but she has had a lot to be dramatic about. This bookwas a jaw-dropper. Ann Kiemel a drug addict and leaving her husband? Lordy! What's next Sandi Patty having an affair and Amy Grant getting a divorce? Oh wait, that happened too. In any case, it's a great moral lesson that people are not always what they appear, and who they really are is often even more inspiring than who they wanted you to think they were.

Healing through honesty,
By Shelly (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seduced By Success No Longer Addicted To Pills, Performance And Praise (Hardcover)
I've carefully read and reread this book several times. Ann's early books gave me direction and encouragement in my Christian walk, and this one, while completely different from the others, does the same. Too many Christians are trying to keep up a cheerul face without dealing honestly with hurts within. Ann's story will bring healing and hope to many. Thank-you, Ann, for peeling away the facade and walking us through your pain and your growth closer to the Lord.
