Taking life back into your own hands in midlife is no easy feat. But that is exactly what Mike Phillips has done. In his easy-to-read, emotional and inspiring memoir, the author describes the steps he took to unlearn much of what he was taught as a child and find a way to express his true identity. "Personal stories are often compelling and worth reading, but what makes "From Priest to Pastor" so special is the unique journey Mike Phillips has experienced in his life. All who are called by God into the ministry must face the cost of surrendering their lives for this "High Calling". Mike discovered in his years in the Roman Catholic priesthood that his growing restlessness was something deeper than his personal challenge of sacrifice but was in fact an encounter with truth through the guidance of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. His persistent and courageous commitment to discovering this truth makes his story, with its ultimate glorious, grace-filled ending, a compelling and fascinating read." John Pettifor, Nottingham, 2023. "Mike Phillips has written a most compelling account of the struggles and successes on his journey from Priest to Pastor. Mike''s story is courageous, honest, emotional and humorous. May it be a blessing to others on their own journey to godly change." -Dr Steven Jenkins MA, MInstAM

CMMI® for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ) describes best practices for the successful acquisition of products and services. Providing a practical framework for improving acquisition processes, CMMI-ACQ addresses the growing trend in business and government for organizations to purchase or outsource required products and services as an alternative to in-house development or resource allocation. Changes in CMMI-ACQ version 1.3 include improvements to high maturity process areas, improvements to the model architecture to simplify use of multiple models, and added guidance about using preferred suppliers. CMMI® for Acquisition, Second Edition, is the definitive reference for CMMI-ACQ version 1.3. In addition to the entire revised CMMI-ACQ model, the book includes updated tips, hints, cross-references, and other author notes to help you understand, apply, and quickly find information about the content of the acquisition process areas. The book now includes more than a dozen contributed essays to help guide the adoption and use of CMMI-ACQ in industry and government. Whether you are new to CMMI models or are already familiar with one or more of them, you will find this book an essential resource for managing your acquisition processes and improving your overall performance. The book is divided into three parts. Part One introduces CMMI-ACQ in the broad context of CMMI models, including essential concepts and useful background. It then describes and shows the relationships among all the components of the CMMI-ACQ process areas, and explains paths to the adoption and use of the model for process improvement and benchmarking. Several original essays share insights and real experiences with CMMI-ACQ in both industry and government environments. Part Two first describes generic goals and generic practices, and then details the twenty-two CMMI-ACQ process areas, including specific goals, specific practices, and examples for each. These process areas are organized alphabetically and tabbed by process area acronym to facilitate quick reference. Part Three provides several useful resources, including sources of further information about CMMI and CMMI-ACQ, acronym definitions, a glossary of terms, and an index.
