Synopsis

Retirement . . . How will I make the transition? How will my finances hold up? How will I find meaning and purpose? How will I handle diminishing capabilities or status? How will I navigate loss and the end of life? . . . As a successful businessman and longtime pastor, Bob Little was often sought out for his perspective on questions like these. Wanting to provide meaningful answers, he studied the scriptures to see what the Bible had to say about the subject. In A Gift of Time, Bob shares the principles through which he lived out a successful retirement, even as he faced a terminal cancer diagnosis. You'll learn about five "seasons of retirement" that contrast a secular vs. spiritual worldview. It's not a formula to live by but a practical, biblical framework that will add purpose to your life long after you've stopped earning a paycheck.
