Stan Ellis kicks off his new book, Transition: Mastering Life’s Movements, with a unique example of mastering transition via a story about the Los Angeles Lakers from the 1980s. It grabs the reader’s attention and makes one think, but the overall message and the depth of Ellis’ book moves far beyond a basketball game. The premise instead is focused on the vast amount of transitions or seasons that everyone goes through in life. Ellis says, “Transition is when one season of your life abruptly ends and you’re forced to enter a new season.” Having a major change and a major period of transition forced upon you is often a breaking point for people. They need help. This book helps readers bring God more fully into their lives during such challenging times. Filled with Christian teachings and insight, Transition opens reader’s hearts and minds to new levels of support and guidance while learning how to embrace the transitions they may be currently facing and the ones they will face in the future.

At the end of each chapter in Transition: Mastering Life’s Movements, author and strategic life-shifter, Stan Ellis shares numerous “power points” in addition to the highlighted nuggets of wisdom he shares throughout the chapter. This is a book readers can pick up, flip to a page, and quickly and easily find powerful Christian guidance along with practical motivation. Ellis shares that, “Life is a series of transitions, and your ability to master transition is the key to you mastering the human experience.” Furthermore, he expresses that “transition should cause a transformation of your ‘self-view’, ‘God-view’, and ‘world-view’.” That may feel like a big undertaking, but Ellis walks you through it one step at a time. Transition, Mastering Life’s Movements is a fairly quick read, but it is jam packed with profound concepts and Godly counsel.
