A Resilient Life: You Can Move Ahead No Matter What
Gordon MacDonald
2004 Thomas Nelson Publishers
This book is a “must-read” for leaders who are guiding those in the second half of life in finding renewed calling and purpose. MacDonald focuses on the characteristics of people who are resilient and “go the distance.”
In his own words:
In the great race of life, there are some Christ-followers who stand out from all the rest. I call them the resilient ones. The further they run, the stronger they get. They seem to possess these spiritual qualities:
They are committed to finishing strong.
They run inspired by a big-picture view of life.
They run free of the weight of the past,
They run confidently, trained to go the distance.
They run in the company of a “happy few.” pp. vii
A Resilient Life will challenge you to run the race marked out for you with endurance, gratitude and victory.
