Aging Matters: Finding Your Calling for the Rest of Your Life R. Paul Stevens William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company; forthcoming March 15, 2016

Vocational discernment, says R. Paul Stevens, is a lifelong process—and it takes on even more significance in later life. In Aging Matters, Stevens argues that our calling does not end with formal retirement; to the contrary, he maintains that we should keep on working, if possible, till life's end. Stevens delves into matters of calling, spirituality, and legacy in retirement, showing that we must continue to discern our vocation as we grow older to provide meaningful engagement for the rest of our lives. He reframes retirement” as a time of continued calling and productivity and points to biblical wisdom about turning aging into an extraordinarily fruitful season of life. Aging Matters offers informed perspective, guidance, hope—and a powerful Christian vision for personal and spiritual growth—to older people.
