Overview

At midlife, our perspective can become blurry. Midlife is a disruptive season where we collide with limitations on all sides. We recognize there is more of life in the rearview mirror than on the road ahead of us. We wonder if our lives so far have been worthwhile. We are uncertain about what lies ahead. But midlife is also an opportunity to recalibrate our vision. It's a time to look back, take stock of our lives so far, and refocus on new dimensions of identity and calling. Peter Greer and Greg Lafferty offer insight for navigating midlife with fresh clarity and purpose. Drawing on the wisdom of the book of Ecclesiastes, they show how we can come to grips with the realities of who we are and what we should become in the years ahead. In a world that can seem meaningless at times, God offers perspective that anchors us, renews us and propels us back into the world in meaningful mission and service. Rediscover who God has called you to be. And see the rest of your life with the clarity of 40/40 vision.

"""At midlife, we are forced to wrestle with the fundamental question of how to live authentically and make the most of life. In 40/40 Vision, Greg Lafferty and Peter Greer provide biblical and practical insights on how to sort through such issues as busyness, unmet expectations, the pursuit of pleasure, wisdom, injustice and identity.

For those well into the race of life or ready for a fresh start, 40/40 Vision is sure to be an energetic and welcome encouragement."" -- ""Ken Wytsma, author of Pursuing Justice and The Grand Paradox"" ""Finding meaningful work, making sense of disappointments, valuing relationships with those around you―these are the questions that many deal with in the second half of life. Greer and Lafferty help us rethink our relationship to work, expectations, and others. They use the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes to speak poignantly into the realities (and questions) of modern life."" -- ""Gary A. Haugen, president of International Justice Mission, author of The Locust Effect"" ""The stereotypes and stories tell us that midlife is an unpredictable and mysterious time, full of temptation and ruin―but what Greg and Peter offer is a clear picture of how unpredictability and mystery are actually opportunities to bring renewed faith and fresh encounters with Christ. Read this book and be equipped to live for what matters most."" -- ""Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author"""
