This is one of the best books I have read on dealing with
midlife issues for Christians. The transition to the midlife stage is a process
and as the author notes it is an invitation to become “sage – a way of life in
which a person expresses experience, knowledge, insight and self-mastery.” While it may look different for each person
it is also a journey growing in wisdom through lifelong discipleship.
The first section of the book deals with what it means to become
sage while the second section of the book addressed how one can develop
spiritual maturity in the second half of life. Areas addressed in the second
section include physical health, relationships, financial issues, church
community as well as end of life issues. At the end of each chapter there are
questions for both individual reflection and group conversation. This would be
a great resource for individual as well as a small group study. I appreciated this book as I am in the second half of life
myself and found it as a helpful tool to look at some of the issues I am facing.
I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for
this honest review.
