Soul Unfinished: Finding Happiness, Taking Risks, and Trusting God As We Grow Older

"There is a warm and confident practicality in Atwell's teaching. He is the grandparent one always wanted, and the fellow adventurer who understands."
— Emilie Griffin, author of Turning, Clinging, and Doors into Prayer, from the foreword

More and more people are living into old age—that's a fact. With our careers winding down and our children having left home, we are faced, sometimes for the first time in our lives, with the most basic questions about the meaning of life. This book is a spiritual guide for just such times, and an opportunity to make the most of the last quarter of a good life.

Robert Atwell was chaplain of Trinity College, Cambridge from 1981–87, after which he spent ten years as a Benedictine monk, followed by another decade as vicar to a busy parish in London’s trendy Primrose Hill. In 2008, he was elected the bishop of Stockport in the southeast of England, near the border with Wales.

Emilie Griffin is the author of several books on the spiritual life, including Clinging: The Experience of Prayer; The Reflective Executive; and Spiritual Classics, a collaboration with Richard Foster. She lives in Alexandria, Louisiana, with her husband, William Griffin.
