Description
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.

Ginger H, Reviewer
The 55 age and over population is the fastest growing in America as the Baby Boomers are entering retirement age. This book is a good guide for Christians who want to make the most of this next phase of their lives. Haanan suggests that many people may want take a sabbatical for a few months at the beginning of retirement to ask "God, what are you calling me to do in retirement?". He encourages the reader to look at their family, financial, and geographic circumstances. He also urges readers to look at the gifts and abilities, as well as where God might be calling them to participate in His work in the world. Reading and reflecting on this book will enable the reader to enter retirement and "pause and ask deeper questions about the next stage of life. How will I spend my days? What is God calling me to? What will people say about me when I'm gone? What dreams will I dream over the next generation?" I recommend this book to any individuals entering retirement who are uncertain of their path forward.
