Ignore the Midlife Jokes and Stereotypes and see the "middle" years for what they really are: the absolute best phase of life thus far. You might not sense it yet, but all along your life, God has been showing and teaching you everything you need for a great second half.



In this profound and surprisingly funny book, you'll discover how your past and present - and all that you've tried to be - is exactly the raw material you need to become the man you want to be

It happens to everyone fortunate enough to live long enough. Sooner or later, we all experience that wake up call that explodes like a bomb in the gut. Boom! - and then you know it: You really are middle-aged. People having that moment tend to do a nanosecond evaluation of their life. And that's usually all it takes for them to realize that they wish they had done more, lived more, been more. If you have experienced that moment yourself - or think it might be a good idea to prepare for when you do - then this is the right book for you.

We, your authors Steve and John, are both in our early fifties. That puts us solidly in the middle of the Boomer Horde. We wrote this book because we want to share with you the comprehensive, God-inspired understanding that we've come to about men in midlife. We want to provide you with an owner's manual, if you will, for the rest of your life.

Midlife raises a lot of questions. Though we know it sounds presumptuous to say so, we believe this book contains the answers to those questions.
