| Description: | For clergy, retirement is an opportunity -- and a matter of the soul. The topic of retirement is critical for an increasing number of clergy, but it is often ignored -- something many clergy would rather not think about. After decades of leadership, retirement can seem more like an obstacle -- or even like oblivion -- than an opportunity. Stepping Aside, Moving Ahead offers guidance for any clergyperson within a decade of retirement. Author Steve Harper writes in the form of letters to a fictitious "every-pastor." Through these compassionate and instructive letters, the author dialogues with clergy who are just beginning to think about what retirement might bring and with those who stand on the brink of it. He guides the reader through the entire process of planning for retirement: from the initial questions about timing, to financial and other practical concerns, to issues of call and legacy, and more. Steve Harper's wise counsel and pastoral voice is just what clergy need. |
