| Regardless of his age, a man knows he is facing this time of reevaluation and reassessment when he begins asking the questions: "What have I really accomplished?" "What have I become?" "What can I do with the rest of my life that is truly significant?" Morley offers practical ideas for making the journey ahead even more fulfilling than the one behind.
Excerpt from the book:
"Midlife is like a lake. Early in our lives we run swift like a river, but shallow. As we put years behind us, though we deepen. Then one day, we enter the opened jaws of midlife. Where once we felt direction and velocity, suddenly we find ourselves swirling about, sometimes aimlessly, or so it seems. Each of us, like individual droplets of water, will take a different path through this port of the journey. For some of us it will only be a slowdown. Other will feel forgotten and abandoned by the father of the river. Some, unable to see where the waters converge and once again grow strong, will despair. Time, however, stops for no one and nothing. Eventually all the little droplets of water, however depressed they may be, find themselves regaining speed as the riverbanks once again gather the waters, point them forward, and give them purpose."
These and other timely questions are explored in The Seasons of Suffering and Success, one of four books in the collection, The Seven Seasons of a Man's Life. Patrick Morley challenges you to understand suffering and claim God's success for your life. |
