Review # 1 was written on 2018-11-30 00:00:00 Aaron Friedman I met Paul Tournier's writings in the 1980s and found this book recently at a time in my life when I thought his wisdom would be of you to me personally and it was and is. The book has nothing revelatory, nothing brilliant and enlightening, but nevertheless explains how retirement is a faux word we shouldn't even be using (we should be living, enjoying our jobs and then live and enjoy the period after). He talks of volunteer work, how to find purpose and very helpfully does not neglect the spiritual side of people. I'm sure there are many books that talk about practicalities of retirement and old age (do they also mention death as this one does so bravely?), but this one is brave in facing worrying questions with no easy answers

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-03 00:00:00 Reva Schreuer If you wish to read a book that pushes you to deepen life and death, this is what you must take up. Paul Tournier made my brain sweat from the first to last line. Neither sentimentality or Nihilism but the realistic hope of Jesus amidst the death and decay of free will!
