Synopsis

What am I going to do with my retirement?

People talk about retirement like it's supposed to be an endless vacation. But what if, like the majority of those facing retirement, you can't afford such a luxury? Or, what if you just want something more from retirement? Some advocate for no retirement at all. But you've worked for decades and a rest and reprieve do sound appealing. What should you do? Does God have a purpose for your retirement?

Yes, He does. Learn how to discern what it is by taking an uncommon approach. Jeff Haanen looks biblically and practically at the need for rest and purpose in retirement. And teaches you how to: take a sabbatical rest in early retirement; listen to God's voice for their calling in retirement; rethink "work" in retirement; and understand family systems and leaving a legacy.

Planning retirement doesn't have to be distressing. Retire in a way that's God-honoring, purpose-filled, restful, and truly biblical.

Goodreads review by Bob on October 01, 2021

This book gave me much to think about as I am about to enter this third phase of my life, which most call retirement. I appreciated the more biblical view toward retirement, work, and God's calling than I've run across elsewhere. The few retirement books I've read mention the importance of having a......more

Goodreads review by Conrade on June 13, 2019

What do we do when we retire? For some, it is an extended vacation but the problem is affordability. Some go to other extreme by claiming they don't have enough money, and prefer to save up for the proverbial rainy day. Some Christians believe that the idea of an endless vacation is not biblical.
