Publisher's Summary

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.

Applicable to many to rethink their future

This concept is not new to me, having come to me during self-reflection in the midst of a pandemic. I was pleasantly surprised to find a book that echoes my new-found sentiments, but after listening to it, I was underwhelmed. Most likely because I got a more personalized message through prayer, meditation and Bible study.

I still recommend it to rethink the future, where everyone is focused on financial independence and freedom.

I wish these audiobooks would include the Chapter title in the index. It would be very helpful to reference and review.

Pedantic and repetitious.

The author promises a new look at retirement, but delivers a common view in a scattered, laborious and repetitive manner. The Sabbatical idea caught my attention at first and had potential, but was explained in a meandering manner that was unsatisfying and not compelling.
