"Carolyn Weese and Russ Crabtree have done churches a great service in breaking the curious silence about pastoral transition, perhaps the most serious threat to churches in the less institutionalized twenty-first-century world. Here you will find the reality-based principles that lead to strategic succession."
-Bob Buford, founder and chairman, Leadership Network, Dallas, Texas, and author, Half-Time

"This is an invaluable book for pastors, lay leaders, and members about how to handle pastoral transition with sensitivity, creativity, and excellence. It not only preserves the church, but enables it to grow and grasp the full potential of the future. This book utilizes profound biblical principles and the finest modern management strategy. I highly recommend this practical and profound book filled with insights and wisdom."
-Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, president, Dunamis Christian Ministries, Inc., Hollywood, California

"At last, qualified authorities in church leadership have taken on the question of transition in a thoughtful way. Crabtree and Weese have supplied a carefully reasoned approach to an event that so often causes major problems for churches-replacing their leader. This book is well written and badly needed."
-Rev. Dennis McCallum, lead pastor, Xenos Christian Fellowship, Columbus, Ohio

"All of the personal and professional hot button issues involved in a pastoral transition are addressed in this book. They don't just point out the pitfalls, they show us how to get out of them!"
-Dr. David G. McKechnie, pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Houston, Texas
