_Choosing What Matters_is an inspirational forty-day devotional drawing from the examples of the apostle Peter's life to show readers the lessons and values that matter most on the Christian path. Because Peter is probably of mature age when he pens his final letters to first-century believers, these timeless topics are relevant for consideration as one transitions from a full-time career into retirement. Are you ever overwhelmed by challenges you face in life's passages? This book is an interactive devotional to help you navigate growing older with grace. Although the subject matter and topics are relevant for all ages, the target audience is those in so-called "extended middle age," who have lived full lives of both ups and downs.

The reader is prompted by a daily reading, prayer, and questions for reflection and application. The topics include calling, second chances, identity, usefulness, trust, generosity, and more. The desired outcome is for character development and growth that models Christian love for the next generation, as well as this one, and the chance to leave an enduring legacy!
