Summary:
Seeks to help readers understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them that those who have fallen, failed, or "gone down" are the only ones who understand "up." Most of us tend to think of the second half of life as largely about getting old, dealing with health issues, and letting go of life, but the whole thesis of this book is exactly the opposite. Explains why the second half of life can and should be full of spiritual richness and, offers a new view of how spiritual growth happens.
