Afterwork : An Honest Discussion About The Retirement Lie And How To Live A
$19.99
Enjoy having 10 powerful disciplines and practical applications you can easily use to break free of an unfulfilling retirement and step forward into a new, remarkably fulfilling season-regardless of how you’ve defined “work.” Afterwork is a healthy and hopeful approach to retirement -and it may be different than conventional wisdom.
Our society declares that a self-focused, uber-comfortable, and vacation-minded retirement is what we want. That retirement is mostly a financial problem to be solved. What could possibly go wrong with double the free time and less structure in your life? But, this is where we go wrong. The retirement lie says that a successful retirement is an endless vacation based on financial security, but this way of thinking is a down payment toward purposelessness and disappointment. Afterwork:
*Exposes the retirement lie
*Explores the 10 key disciplines to avoid a destiny of disillusionment
*Opens you to a life of purpose and meaning
The afterwork mindset and its disciplines are applicable to anyone. Perhaps you’re leaving a traditional career. Your children are grown and gone. Maybe you’ve sold your business. Harder still, you may be navigating the unfathomable passing of a loved one. Preparing for and living well through these tectonic shifts requires serious reflection, intentional thinking and healthy mindsets. That’s afterwork, and its quest for you is to thrive in the most impactful, purposeful season of your life, whether you’re 45 or 75.
How Does Afterwork Help?
Afterwork is an honest discussion about the “retirement lie” and a guide to living a future worthy of God’s plan for you. Afterwork will help you:
*Sidestep the loaded word “retire” in favor of a purposeful new season
*Realize you’re not a “has been”-you are the strongest, most impactful version of you yet
*Cope with the reality vs. the daydream of the afterwork life and start thriving
*Avoid the traps of the retirement “sugar rush” and “retirement drift”
*Shift your focus from money and “happiness” to meaning and impact
*And more!
You’re more than the pile of money and assets in your retirement account-you’re a living, breathing person and one with a lot of life yet to live! If you want to experience your post-career season in the most purposeful and impactful way possible, this is the book for you. Who will you be afterwork?

Unshakable Hope Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99The Unshakable Hope group Bible study provides groups of all sizes the opportunity to discuss and apply what they experience during the twelve-week Unshakable Hope church campaign.
In this 12-week study, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado reveals how the heroes in the Bible came from all walks of life. They were rulers, servants, teachers, doctors. They were male, female, single, married. Yet one common denominator united them: they all put their faith in God’s promises. Because of God’s promises, Noah built an ark on dry land, Abraham went to a distant land, Joshua claimed the Promised Land, David became king, Peter preached the first sermon, and John caught a glimpse of the future.The stories of the men and women in Scripture were different, but the theme was the same: they were people of the Promise. Since the beginning of time, God’s relationship to humankind has been shaped by specific requirements and promises. These covenants were unchangeable decrees that defined the outflow of history. Some of the promises were positive, the assurance of blessings. Some of them were negative, the guarantee of consequence. But all the promises were binding.
This world has a tremble to it. There are things that seem unsteady in this life. But when we belong to God, it allows us to filter our problems through the promises of God. When crises arise, we can simply mutter, “But God said…” When struggles threaten, we can be seen flipping through the Bible, saying, “I know that God said something about this.” When we choose to be people of the promise, we choose to build our lives on promises of God not the circumstances of life.
It is through the great and precious promises that we participate in the divine nature of God. They sit like golden stones in the pathway to God’s world. They are strong boulders that form the bridge over which we walk from our sin to salvation. They aren’t just great, they are “very great”; and they aren’t just valuable, they are “precious.” To bind them around our neck is to adorn ourselves with the finest jewels of the universe. As Dwight Moody put it, “If you would spend a month feeding on the precious promises of God-you wouldn’t be going about complaining how poor you are. You would lift up your head and proclaim the riches of His Grace, because you couldn’t help doing it.”
