Not Old, Not Young, Not Done: Following Jesus in your 50s and 60s
Not Old, Not Young, Not Done: Following Jesus in your 50s and 60s
Our 50s and 60s are two decades with unique opportunities and challenges.
Perhaps you are becoming an empty-nester, considering or entering retirement, caring for elderly parents, or welcoming grandchildren. This stage of life is new and different, but the joyful call of following Jesus is the same.
In Not Old, Not Young, Not Done, you’ll find encouragement to faithfully follow Jesus through the ups and downs of this season. No matter what the specific circumstances you might find yourself in during the “afternoon of life,” author Christopher Ash speaks truth to the heart.
You’ll be invigorated to walk intentionally through this fresh season of fruitfulness. As you thoughtfully consider your circumstances, you’ll be strengthened to do what God calls you to now, and you’ll be preparing your heart and habits for the years to come.
Reflection questions are included and could be used for discussion with close friends or a spouse.
