Finishing Well and the Retirement Spoiler's Gang

Finishing Well and the Retirement Spoiler's Gang began as a father's counsel in narrative form to his adult children nearing retirement. However, in real life, the nefarious deeds of the Spoiler's Gang provide equal-opportunity exposure for all ages everywhere to their joy-draining, hope-dimming experiences.

People living in Bible times were not immune to the "Spoiler's Gang's" hurtful tactics. For Naomi and Ruth, grieving offered life without hope until God appeared in an unlikely place. The apostle Paul suffered painful, physical limitations then found the Lord's strength in his weakness. Moses lugged the burden of regret for years but still lived to fulfill God's purpose for him. Samson had a "blind spot" that hid the true source of his remarkable strength. Samuel attended a pity party, his own, when the people rejected him after so many years. For Abraham and Sarah, "Wait" was the order of the day for twenty-five years!

Their responses, among others, demonstrate how they met and overcame their personal challenges, or how God helped them recover hope and resolve to be renewed in spirit and truth. These are the stories of real people living in their world applied to your experiences in your world, enriched by a faith relationship with Jesus Christ.

Timely questions, suitable for group discussions, will facilitate the understanding and application of Bible truths to everyday situations.
