Retirement is an increasingly important part of modern life – some people spend almost as many years retired as they did employed. While facing it can be a daunting prospect, living as a retired person offers new challenges and opportunities. These Bible readings offer an honest but hopeful picture of what it can mean to be ‘positively retired’.

Each volume in the Bible Readings for Special Times series offers 24 undated reflections linking scripture to real life experiences, especially for those times when we want to hear God’s word speaking to us clearly, yet may not know where to start looking.
