    Description: “In this challenge to Christians finishing their formal careers in their fifties and sixties, John Piper writes,

    I am sixty-two years old—just about the oldest baby boomer. Behind me come 78 million boomers, ages forty-three to sixty-one. Over 10,000 turn sixty every day. What will it mean to live those final years for the glory of Christ? How will we live them in such a way as to show that Christ is our highest Treasure?

    John Piper argues that it will mean a radical break with the mindset of our unbelieving peers. Especially a break with the typical dream of retirement.”

    Piper’s writing redefines retirement as understood and taught by the world. It is an engaging booklet.
