OverviewAs a new bishop, Robert Atwell responded to a direct challenge from older church members, who usually make up the biggest majority in any congregation. Why, they asked, was there always so much for the young; what was there for them? This book grew out of his response. A series of talks he gave on the spirituality of growing older and the gifts that wait to be discovered generated an unprecedented response, not only throughout the diocese, but on blogs and websites around the world. 60 really is the new 40 for increasing numbers of people. The retired are a huge consumer category, increasingly recognised by marketing gurus. They may have disposable income, time on their hands, and the leisure of choice - but wisdom, humour and honesty are essential for these transitional decades too and this short book offers all three in plenty. The author's background in Benedictine life, with its profound understanding of what makes for a balanced and rich life, flavours a book of timeless value Full Product DetailsAuthor: Robert Atwell , Joan BakewellPublisher: Canterbury Press Norwich Imprint: Canterbury Press Norwich Edition: 1 Dimensions: Width: 14.80cm , Height: 1.00cm , Length: 21.00cm Weight: 0.136kg ISBN: 9781848250765ISBN 10: 1848250762 Pages: 112 Publication Date: 29 April 2011 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
