John Piper challenges fellow baby boomers to forego the American
dream of retirement and live out their golden years with a far
greater purpose in mind.
They say it's a person's reward for all those years of labor.
"Turn in your time card and trade in your IRAs. Let travel plans
and golf-course leisure lead the way." But is retirement really the
ideal? Or is it a series of poor options that ignore a greater
purpose-and will kill a person more quickly than old age?
John Piper responds: "Lord, spare me this curse " And his
resounding message is for anyone who believes there's far more to
the golden years than accumulating comforts. It's for readers who
long to finish better than they started, persevere for the right
reasons (and without fear), experience true security, value what
lies beyond their cravings, and live dangerously for the One who
gave his life in his prime. With this brief book, Piper is sure to
spur fellow baby boomers in their resolve to invest themselves in
the sacrifices of love-and to grow old with godly zeal.
