Aging Matters R. Paul Stevens. Aging Matters: Finding Your Calling for the Rest of Your Life. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdman’s, 2016. 160 pages. $16.
For Christians, a late-life retirement of leisure is just not an option, contends Stevens, a theology and leadership professor in Canada.
Rather, retirement should be a turning point — into mentoring, legacy-building and continued productivity, he argues.
Each of this book’s nine chapters ends with selected Bible readings and group discussion questions, making it suitable for Bible classes for seniors and small-group studies.
