An Uncommon Guide to Retirement: Finding God's Purpose for the Next Season of Life Spiral-Bound | May 7, 2019

How to have a retirement worth having

There’s a lot of advice about retirement out there. Some try to tell you retirement can and should be a perpetual vacation. Others might speak about retirement as a time for your second career. And there’s some truth in all of it, but there’s a lot wrong with it too.

An Uncommon Guide to Retirement gives you a new way of looking at retirement (that doesn’t reject the good from the old ways of doing things). In it, Jeff Haanen explores ideas like Sabbath, calling, and purpose, and teaches you how to:

• reframe conversations around the body and healthcare decisions
• understand your family system, set boundaries, and leave an intentional legacy
• love God, bear witness to the gospel, and serve your neighbors in retirement
• and more!

If you’re retired or thinking about retirement and want a more purpose-filled retirement, this book is for you!

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
• 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.
