Overview

How to navigate a spiritual journey through these years, leading to deeper faith and a closer walk with God. Our 40s and 50s can be times of change and turbulent emotional transitions as we encounter a range of challenging personal issues. They can also be some of the most important years of our lives in spiritual terms. Tony Horsfall addresses a number of ‘midlife’ issues – from facing up to the past to renegotiating relationships – and explores how to navigate a spiritual journey through these years, leading to deeper faith and a closer walk with God. ‘Accessible and an easy read. The exercises are practical and pose useful questions. Spiritual Growth in a Time of Change offers a straightforward introduction to the issues, and may provide some welcome lightbulb moments for anyone who is new to the concept of midlife.’ Sarah Meyrick, Church Times

'Midlife can be a tricky season. Not all make the transition well. Tony Horsfall draws extensively on the writings of others, and introduces us to concepts and resources for the journey. He offers us a clear, wise and practical guide to steer us through the various challenges and opportunities. It's a great guide for anyone navigating the tricky waters of midlife. I'll be using it myself, and recommending it to others.'JAMES LAWRENCE, CPAS LEADERSHIP PRINCIPAL 'This book reveals how our midlife experience, and the path through which the Holy Spirit seeks to form us, are in fact the same journey towards significant growth. Tony Horsfall brings together a great deal of wisdom from an impressive number of sources. Once again, he succeeds in exploring deep spiritual and psychological points in such a simple and authentic manner that you feel like you could share and recommend his words amongst a great many people; a rare gift.'RICHARD HANN, FORMERLY PENHURST RETREAT CENTRE 'Navigate the midlife transition well and our finest, most fruitful years lie ahead of us. That's the message I've taken away from this gem of a book. Through biblical reflection, insights from the social sciences and wisdom drawn from his own personal and professional life, Tony Horsfall helps us understand the longings, tensions and questions of the midlife season while showing us how to utilise its inherent opportunities. Spiritual Growth in a Time of Change charts a course to new identity, purpose and fulfilment in God. I highly recommend it.'SHERIDAN VOYSEY, WRITER, SPEAKER, BROADCASTER AND AUTHOR 'Tony's book is a user's guide to our middle years. He helps us to recognise the landmarks of change and struggle, and to make the most of midlife's potential for spiritual growth and maturity. It is practical and honest, opening up our common failures and temptations in middle age but inviting us on an inner journey to becoming more of our true selves as loved by God. Tony offers reflective questions and Bible character studies to make this a book that can be used to effect by small groups seeking accountability and growth.'MARY TAYLOR, RETIRED BAPTIST MINISTER 'Accessible and an easy read. The exercises are practical and pose useful questions. Spiritual Growth in a Time of Change offers a straightforward introduction to the issues, and may provide some welcome lightbulb moments for anyone who is new to the concept of midlife.'SARAH MEYRICK, CHURCH TIMES
