This short booklet by John Piper challenges fellow baby boomers to forego the American dream of retirement and to grow old with a zeal that shows God to be the all-satisfying Treasure that he is.
Finishing Life for the Glory of Christ” by John Piper challenges the conventional idea of retirement, urging readers, particularly baby boomers, to view aging as an opportunity to glorify God. Piper advocates for a perspective shift, encouraging individuals to forego the typical pursuit of leisure and comfort in retirement and instead embrace this phase of life as a chance to deepen their relationship with God and serve others. The book emphasizes the importance of finding fulfillment and purpose in Christ rather than in traditional retirement pursuits, ultimately advocating for a life that reflects the glory of Christ in all stages, including retirement.
