How to Finish the Christian Life: Following Jesus in the Second Half

by Donald W. Sweeting, George Sweeting

Thrive as a Christian regardless of your age. 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.

I've had this book sitting on my shelf for over a decade, if I had to guess. I finally decided it was time to read it. 5 stars for doing exactly what the title suggests. The Sweetings are very readable, and the style of this book is conversational and informative. Even though it is targeted at an older audience, I wish I'd read this when I was much younger, and I would recommend it to younger Christians whole-heartedly.

Good reminder on the ultimate joy

Great reminder on Kingdom mindset on living towards the new heaven and new earth. Material established and achieved in life remains here in earth. Only the joy of loving, sharing and pleasing God carries us through to the new chapter after death in earth.
