********
Larry Fox’s Making the Transition is a hands-on guide and workbook about recognizing who we are in Christ and detailing the process of identifying our gifts in accordance with our personality. Fox simplifies and breaks down categories of personalities and groups them with certain attributions, tendencies, and ultimate callings/gifts. The outstanding feature of this book is the simplicity and ease of the writings and words, and one can’t help but see Fox’s efforts to bring understanding to his reader in the simplest of ways.

One sure thing to take away from this book is the epiphany and realization that God gave us unique characters and characteristics, whether we’re introverted or extroverted. These characteristics and personalities are somehow tied to our gifts -- thus, our ultimate calling and purpose -- so we should never think we’re alone, a mistake, or an anomaly. We just need to:
1. accept this epiphany;
2. realize that the enemy will try to corrupt our unique personalities for his gain, and:
3. begin navigating our thinking towards fulfilling God’s plan for our life using our gifts.

A great read – and not just a read – a workbook that requires action and critical thinking from its readers.
