Retirement Radicals [Paperback]

A demographic transformation is underway in America. Starting in 2011, the first of the 79 million member Baby Boomer generation, those born between 1946 and 1964, turned age 65. Will skilled, activist Boomers continue to change the world in their older retirement years? Will churches, faith communities and service organizations mobilize this generation in fresh ways? Retirement Radicals goes beyond a mere wake-up call about this demographic reality, it helps people and church leaders do something about it. This book is designed to be a practical planning guide for the Boomer to prepare for an exciting, active and satisfying future - one that makes a difference! It is no accident that God has allowed this enormous amount of older adults to be alive at this time in history. This aging Boomer cohort has great promise of significant accomplishments for God's mission. Author Bio: Dave Witmer is a leadership coach, church planter, pastor, entrepreneur, musician.
