Overview
"""The only thing that is constant is change,"" the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said. Change is not only essential; it is inevitable. It will happen, whether we like it or not. While change is what happens around us, Dr. Chris Bowen writes, transition is what happens in us as we respond to that change. Writing with transparency and insight, Dr. Bowen tells the story of his own transition from a successful pastor to a sought-after entrepreneur and transitional leader. Throughout, he weaves principles he learned--sometimes the hard way--as he sought to reconcile the stirrings he was feeling in his heart with the success and fulfillment he was experiencing in his career and ministry. Ultimately, his journey led him to find and prepare a successor, put in place an exit plan and take a leap of faith that would launch him into his destiny and change his life forever. Dr. Bowen challenges readers to evaluate their lives and take big risks, but he also provides them with a practical roadmap for achieving their dreams as they pursue their deepest passions."

Reviews
The odds were against Chris achieving all that he has. He grew up in extreme poverty. His life was filled with domestic violence, as well as mental, physical, and emotional abuse. The public school system was another negative environment for him. Instead of encouraging him to press through learning disabilities such as attention deficit disorder, this environment pegged him as someone incapable of learning--someone to simply be shoved through the system. During his formative years, he was treated as someone who would not amount to anything. Many thought he had low odds of making it in the world. However, they underestimated the tenacity, resilience, and determination (not to mention the God factor) of this Energizer bunny (actually, the Energizer bunny is slow compared to Chris). -- from the foreword;by Dr. Brenda Chand
