What NOW?

Nuggets of Wisdom for Navigating the Maze of Transition, Trials and Change

Original publication released November, 2002

Revised and new release: February, 2010

Chris Green wrote this book to pass on nuggets of wisdom to his sons, future daughters-in-law and grandchildren. It was written to his spiritual sons and daughters as well. It's filled with the words a father longs to share when his children are going through changes in life.

Transition is usually very painful and difficult. Many

people make the worst decisions of their lives during

times of change. That's why "Dad Chris" presents eight

nuggets of wisdom to help guide his readers successfully

through the labyrinth of disappointment, doubt,

discouragement, detours and distraction.

Don't allow regrets and defeats to keep you running into dead ends. Receive a NOW answer that will bring you out of the maze and set your feet on the path of God's true purpose for your life.

Christopher G. Green and his wife, Carol, have been teaching Nuggets of Wisdom (N.O.W.) since 1992, when they were youth and young adult leaders in a local church in St. Louis, Missouri.

Foreword by Bishop Raphael Green

"For several reasons I am pleased to be among the first to recommend this book. It is biblically sound and perfectly timed.  Although he is specifically addressing young adults, the principles presented are relevant to everyone irrespective of age, generation, gender, ethnicity, religious affiliation, nationality or culture.

They are therefore workable in every place. This is one of the outstanding features of this book.  If the Lord blesses it to gain a large international readership, it could perhaps prove to be a powerfully positive generational link as well." 

Bishop Raphael Green, Urban Pastors and Leaders Alliance International, St. Louis, MO

What NOW Publisher, Dave Burrows

"In this book Chris has addressed an area that has often been overlooked in the body of Christ. We have programs and plans for youth and we have programs and plans for adults. There are some who are in somewhat of a no-man's land whose needs are not being adequately addressed. In this book, Chris fills the gap in a way that leaves little left to be said.”

Dave Burrows Youth and Family Ministries,  Nassau, Bahamas

Endorsement from Dr. Debbye Turner Bell

"The only thing worse than being lost, is having no resources to help you find your way. The book "What Now" is that much needed road map for anyone lost in transition during this journey called life. Chris Green's willingness to be brutally honest about his transition seasons makes the reader feel that they are not alone, nor the only one feeling confused, frustrated and overwhelmed. Young people are simply looking for something real, something honest. Pastor Chris' stories hit home in a simple yet profound way. His words come straight from his heart, getting to the heart of the matter. Certainly anointed to touch the hearts of adults, young and old alike."

Dr. Debbye Turner Bell, Miss America 1990, Motivational Speaker, TV Broadcaster

Endorsement from Bishop Donald Hilliard

“I know Chris to be a focused man of great faith and conviction. His first

work, “What Now,” is sure to be a blessing to the family, particularly the teenage population that is often so misguided and misdirected. There are so many things vying for their attention that we must take bold initiatives.”

Dr. Donald Hilliard, The Cathedral International, Perth Amboy, NJ

Endorsement from Pastor Mark Lawrence

“I felt I was reading portions of the story of my life. Many times I didn’t have answers for the problems I encountered through my turbulent teens and early twenties. 'What NOW' addresses relevant issues and questions of life that every young person is currently or will face. It also provides sound, biblical, practical answers.  Every concerned parent and youth leader should read this book and place a copyinto the hands of youth struggling with life’s issues.”

Pastor Mark Lawrence, Kingdom First Ministries International, Chesapeake, VA

Endorsement from Pastor Frank King

“This is a phenomenal and timely book!  I certainly wish I had something like this whenI was in my twenties. I highly recommend this book to Pastors and Young Adult Groupleaders as a resource and textbook. It will bring understanding and wisdom in discovering God’s purpose for all.” 

Frank King, Senior Pastor, Refreshing Waters Worship Center, Kansas City, MO

Endorsement from Bishop Horace Hockett

"I started reading this book because I had two sons in their twenties, but I discovered that this book is also for the thirty-somethings, forty-somethings and fifty-somethings."
