Walking through retirement beginnings and endings
How can we best approach the season between retiring and becoming dependent?Autumn is a time of gains and losses: fruit being harvested and leaves falling. This book charts the experience of living through both realities, drawn from the author’s own life and from the views of interviewees. Informed by historical and contemporary reading, it offers snapshots of later life, taken against a backdrop of ageism in society and church. George Lings reflects on the identity of the ‘active elderly’, and he considers through a biblical lens the challenges and opportunities that this season brings.
