What a Man….What a Mighty Good Man
A Man in Transition by K.L. is a book of poems, stories and observations that will engage you from page one. Having known the author on a personal level, I knew what to expect from the book’s contents, however, nothing would prepare me for the joy K.L. brought to my spirit, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Before I get into my book review, I want to make a personal remark about K.L. – the man. We’ve had exchanges about the love I have for my husband, and the love he has for his wife. I love the honor and respect and the love K.L. shows for his loving wife Tiffany. It is refreshing to hear him speak of her, and how she has changed his life. Black love is a beautiful thing to witness. What I’ve gathered from K.L. is that he is truly a gracious man, one that has transitioned into a Great man. His journey is evidenced in this book.

“As a man travels through life, many things affect the way he chooses to walk his path.” K.L. opens the book with this line, and how true this statement is. From the very first chapter, the reader is introduced to K.L. the man who has transitioned, as you witness where K.L. is now in his life, where his journey has taken him. He has come full circle with a steadfast maturity that can only come from walking through all of life’s peaks and valleys. “I’m living a life that has more meaning these days,” K.L. says. “I want everyone to know and understand that men do change.” He goes on to talk about God’s grace and forgiveness and how that, along with a good woman, has changed his life.

Part of K.L.’s journey is this good woman, his loving wife. There is a overflowing of love and tenderness throughout the book, and when K.L. speaks of his wife, you go from reading a good book, instantly to a “hallelujah” moment. You’ll laugh out loud when K.L. compares a good woman and a good plate of food, citing, “the kind of food that touches your mind and body the same as a good woman in your life can.”
Fortified with heartfelt poetry about issues that affect all humankind, this book will touch your heart and feed your spirit. K.L. is uniquely wonderful in his delivery as he provides manna for the mind.

One of my favorite lines in the book is one in its introduction where K.L. confesses, “it was important that I instill in my children that as long as they had true faith in God, that anything is possible.” His level of responsibility and care with which he authored this book is truly admirable.

The book concludes with K.L. describing his old ways, his backslidin’ days and how he used to be, with no shame and with complete honesty which is more than revitalizing. By doing this, K.L. has brilliantly displayed the error of his ways, and how by the grace of God he has come into a rich, full life, one that God had been preparing him for all along.
