Not Old, Not Young, Not DoneChristopher AshChristopher Ash explores an 'in-between' stage of life in which a sense of certainty may fade but opportunity and potential can deepen. He reframes ageing as elevation rather than decline, a time for an increased appreciation of meaning, and for pressing on rather than slowing down. As we enter this season (as most of us will) and circumstances change once more, Ash argues we can use it as a time of greater fruitfulness in our service. He's right, and what a great book this is!

Dust to DustJen WilkinIn 'Dust to Dust' Jen Wilkin offers a counter-cultural view of ageing which explores what the Bible has to teach us on the subject. While modern culture promotes everything it can to slow down the ageing process, from products to surgery, Wilkin shows how ageing is a journey into greater significance and encourages us to embrace getting older and use this for God's glory.

Rethinking RetirementJohn PiperIn 'Rethinking Retirement', John Piper critiques the idea that retirement is primarily for travelling and playing golf, but makes a strong case for viewing it as an opportunity to give more of ourselves to others and increase in our faith, so that we finish well and glorify God in all we do. For Piper, it's not a time for self-indulgence, but self-sacrifice and living with greater purpose than ever. I would like to give every retiring Christian a copy of this!
