This book discusses the patterns of

  • spiritual development
  • emotional development

that happen at midlife, with practical suggestions for leaders of congregations

  • Jewish
  • Christian
  • Unitarian

who would like to do a better job serving their members at midlife.

Only a small percentage of people have a true midlife crisis, but the years between 35 and 55 are often rich years of spiritual growth, and congregations could do a much better job nurturing that growth.
