As we grow older, we feel a special urgency to make peace with the past and to discover hope for the future. In his newest book, Peace in the Last Third of Life, The Rev. Dr. Paul F.M. Zahl provides a roadmap to finding peace and hope for the 'Boomer' generation. Zahl's wisdom comes not only from his decades in pastoral ministry, but also from cultural and historical illustrations as varied as Philadelphia Soul, War of the Worlds (1953), and the skin of St. Bartholomew. With piercing wisdom and unflagging humor, Peace in the Last Third of Life connects the core questions of Boomers to the Supernatural Power of God.
Peace in the Last Third of Life: A Handbook of Hope for Boomers Reviews
-
A meandering read with some great insights...and a great playlist at the end! For my money,
Sacred Fire: A Vision for a Deeper Human and Christian Maturity, is still my favorite book on spirituality for the second half of life. -
Paul Zahl has a quirky sense of humor that might distract from his overall message for certain readers, but once you get a feel for him, and really start to understand what he's saying, you realize it is of the utmost importance. You don't have to be a boomer to benefit from this book. I'm in my mid-30s, and have found this book (and PZ's Podcast) incredibly helpful.
