Retiring Well

Dr. Dunlop has a gift for understanding every season in life as an opportunity to glorify God. He shares this gift beautifully in Retiring Well, as he blends his experience as a geriatrician with his knowledge of Scripture to guide us into a richer walk with the Lord during retirement. Clear, biblical, and abounding in both wisdom and compassion, this book offers encouragement and practical advice to guide us toward a retirement rooted not in the diversions of the world but in the true rest of Christ. Return to this book again and again to dwell upon Dr. Dunlop’s words, grow from his insights, and praise the Lord that while our careers may end, our work for him never does.

Similar to the Dunlops, we have recently made a huge change and ‘retired’ from what we did for more than forty years. John has synthesized wisdom drawn from his years of following Jesus, his gerontological practice, others’ research, and the word of God. John addressed many of the questions we considered as well as revealed others we still must. His gentle manner comes across in print as he challenges readers to look at retirement in a countercultural way, for the sake of God’s glory, which he affirms will prove to be for our good. This would be valuable reading for people approaching retirement as well as for those who love them!
