Transitioning to Retirement with Courage and Grace: A Guide for the Christian Woman

By Jane C Owen PH D

The first day after I retired and the alarm clock did not go off, I wandered out through the French doors from our bedroom to the courtyard, cup of coffee in hand. I realized I was completely alone for the first time in a long time. In this peaceful moment, a single thought exploded in my mind: What do I do now?

Transitioning to Retirement with Courage and Grace is a road map for women who seek God's guidance in all seasons of their lives and particularly in times of change. It is filled with practical suggestions, pertinent facts, gentle humor, and the transparency of an author who hopes to be seen as a supportive guide and friend.

Ways to prepare spirit, soul, body, personal relationships, and social living for retirement are discussed. Ways to handle the irritations, struggles, and fears that are frequently a part of any life transition are examined. The impact of change, the importance of structure, and strategies to help make significant and sometimes difficult life changes are offered. Finally, we'll talk about ways to enrich the retirement experience and pass a legacy forward.

The pathway through retirement is a mini transition that closely resembles the journey through life. The same change and decision-making strategies, persistence, flexibility, curiosity, and scriptural principles work for both. The learning from this book, therefore, can be applied to other areas of life as well.
