Publisher's Description
In 2011, the first of the 76 million baby boomers--nearly a quarter of the US population--began turning 65. Every day for the next fifteen years, over ten thousand of them will celebrate that birthday. And for the first time in history, this generation will enjoy many years post-career pursing meaning and purpose outside of traditional retirement. What will they do with that time? One thing is for sure: most of them want to find something meaningful. This book lays out the choices to be made to find fulfillment in the encore years of life. Launch Your Encore is a game plan for life after one's main-act career. Hans Finzel and Rick Hicks show boomers how to enter this new stage of life poised for personal satisfaction and contributions to society. They offer tested advice on finding new life potential and thriving in these later decades of life. With real-life examples of people who have made the transition from full-time work to volunteering, ministry, or even second careers, Launch Your Encore shows boomers how to make an impact later in life.

“Launch Your Encore is a brief, energizing, life-changing read. The authors, both long-time executives of frontline missions organizations, provide fellow boomers with a sure blueprint for finishing well—as did the original ‘Old Dog,’ Caleb (his name actually means dog), an octogenarian who led God’s people in the capture of Hebron. This book is sure to have a wide appeal and influence because of its broad transcultural principles, compelling personal anecdotes and testimony, clear scriptural basis, and next-step wisdom. Certain to launch many glorious sunsets!”
“Baby boomers are living longer lives and living healthier lives. Hans and Rick have provided a practical and inspiring guide to help baby boomers live better lives and more fulfilling lives.”
“An encore means your audience wants more—from you. Don’t exit your stage—embrace it! Launch Your Encore shows you how to engage life’s new stages. Warm and practical, this book helps you choose and create realistic expectations for your future. Begin to compose new melodies and write fresh lyrics to your life’s song—then present them with all you’ve got! Inspire your expanding audience to create and perform songs of their own design. There is no ‘fine’ (ending) to these melodies.”
“At seventy-six years of age I can testify that the senior years can be some of the best years and here is a book that can help make it happen. I fear that the people who need this book the most will never even see it, so please get extra copies to give away.”
