Heading for the finish line

THE FINAL LAP:
Navigating the transitions of later life
By John Wyatt
10 Publishing. 67 pages. £6.99
ISBN 978 1 915 705 808

As a fellow struggler, I thoroughly enjoyed this little gem. Professor John Wyatt, himself a recent retiree, explores the final three stages of life.

With great warmth and sensitivity he poses the question – what are old people for? Just imagine what would happen in your church if all the over-60s stopped turning up for duty? While the secular world markets ‘retirement’ as a well-earned holiday, many retired Christians find themselves busier than ever. So what old people are for is a pressing issue.
