Description
There has been, and continues to be, a great deal of important writing and discussion about the need for retirement planning for the financial health, housing, and other issues faced by persons of retirement age. However, one of the most difficult set of issues that must be addressed are emotional and spiritual issues.
Beyond the Rocking Chair offers a new vision of retirement--a vision of a time in one's life that can be a time of rewarding involvement and deepening spirituality. It will be an insightful, powerful, spiritual companion to those who are recently retired, approaching retirement, or living in retirement communities as well as professionals, families, and friends who seek to support those who are entering this rewarding time in their lives.
