Celebrating the Rest of Your Life: A Baby Boomer's Guide to Spirituality
by David Yount
$9.95 Paperback

In Celebrating the Rest of Your Life, author David Yount argues that “retirement” is badly named: it is not a retreat from life but only from a nine-to-five existence toiling on someone else's agenda. As you age, Yount believes your life should expand, not contract, and your spirit should grow. Retirement is a prime time to stretch your mind, drop your emotional guard, invest in others, and cultivate community beyond those who live within your domestic walls. Calling on God's grace, he explains how we can grow young in spirit and find a richness in life that eluded us in our youth.

Toward Holy Ground: Spiritual Directions for the Second Half of Life
by Margaret Guenther
$12.95 Paperback

The second half of life is that time when we undertake the tasks essential to a mature faith. This part of life has a depth and spirituality all its own: a tolerance of ambiguity, an exploration of limitation and mortality, discipline and simplicity, fruition and fulfillment. With wisdom gained through years of experience and prayer, Margaret Guenther explores the practical aspects of spirituality in midlife: intercessory prayer, the need for community, light-heartedness, detachment and stripping down, preparing for aging and "a good death," and crafting a rule of life.
