How to finish the christian life, following Jesus in the second half
Dr. George Sweeting's How to Begin the Christian Life revealed a plan for success in starting new lives of purpose in pursuit of Christ. Now he and his son Donald Sweeting present How to Finish the Christian Life, a guide that gives mature believers a new set of disciplines and encouraging truths to help them finish well. Retirement from a career should never be mistaken for an absence of purpose. On the foundation of his own ministry that continues to thrive, Dr. Sweeting and his son deliver an inspiring message that the end of the believer's journey is not a matter of dying but a challenge to live to the fullest to the glory of God. When it comes to the life of a true follower of Christ, there is only one way to finish: strong.

Living well and dying well. For those of us over 50 (and especially for some of us pretty far beyond 50), both perspectives are so important. George and Don Sweeting help us to focus on both perspectives. We need to prepare to meet our Maker who also is our Savior. In the mean time, we are still His servants here and our job from which we never retire is to honor Him in our ministry to others. Great help here for those who want to finish as faithful servants of Jesus Christ and hear His "Well done". Robert C. (Ric) Cannada, Jr., Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary
