Let travel plans and golf-course leisure lead the way.\" But is retirement really the ideal? Or is it a series of poor options that ignore a greater purpose-and will kill a person more quickly than old age?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Piper responds: \"Lord, spare me this curse!\" And his resounding message is for anyone who believes there's far more to the golden years than accumulating comforts. It's for readers who long to finish better than they started, persevere for the right reasons (and without fear), experience true security, value what lies beyond their cravings, and live dangerously for the One who gave his life in his prime. With this brief book, Piper is sure to spur fellow baby boomers in their resolve to invest themselves in the sacrifices of love\u003cem\u003e-\u003c\/em\u003eand to grow old with godly zeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Piper\u003c\/strong\u003e is founder and lead teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College \u0026amp; Seminary.
