NEW MAN JOURNEY Finding Meaning in Retirement

The amiable author says that men will be happier in retirement if they throw off their "old-man" self-indulgence, stop competing with others, and live with more "new-man" openness and humility. With examples from the Bible and his own life, Silver shows how this transition can save them from the evil and isolation of their "lower selves" and help them become people whose faith makes growing older more fulfilling. The author has experience in broadcasting, and the high polish of his narration--resonant and clear, perfectly enunciated, seductively natural and sincere--may sound inauthentic at first, but it quickly becomes a powerful vehicle for his fundamentalist Christian message. It's a performance that will make listeners want to deliver themselves from sin, accept God's control over them, and prepare their spiritual selves for everlasting life.
