This is an easy-to-read book for men asking questions.
What is life all about? How did I get here? What do I do with the rest of my life? Where exactly did my 30’s or 40’s go? How come every day seems the same?
Questions about marriage and family, and jobs, and success and failure, and God, are sometimes unexpected.
Al Stewart suggests that sometimes the wrong reactions to life’s questions can have disastrous results for our lives, and for the lives of others.
Men looking for answers or who want to fix something will find this book useful. Sections on Midlife, the Good News and The Search For Answers are based on Old Testament teaching from the Book of Ecclesiastes. They could even used as a Small Group Study notes with other references.
The Book asks the big question about men’s midlife – is it half full or half empty. Section 3 Talks about God’s Plan for our Eternity and radical solutions that men need to undertake in their life’s walk.
Eternity is in each man’s heart. Faith in action is trust in their God.
Bishop Stewart taps a number of exciting prospects in learning to live by trust in God:
i Joy and Gratitude, not life crushing rules
ii Freedom from looking sideways all the time
iii Freedom from worry about the future.
Al Stewart, the Author, is the Bishop of Wollongong, an active Sportsman who loves the outdoors and has used his life experiences in the writing of this book.
A book for Aussie men, written by an Aussie who is not afraid to open up about changes as men age, and who knows mid-life is the “half full glass” for your Eternity.
A Joy to read.
