Preparing For Re-Tyrement

The writing of this book, inclusive of the name, is in direct response to God’s instructions. The writer believes that God allowed her to have the specific experiences shared, out of which the burden for this book emerged. The underlying philosophy is that God does not want His children to retire. He wants them to re-tyre, put on new and different ‘tyres’, in order to continue to be active in His service.


It is a book that can help all age groups, but especially those over forty. The concern is for the spiritual, physical, mental, emotional and financial health of senior persons in general and Christians in particular. The author shares some of her personal experiences in order to remind readers that God has a plan for all the seasons of their lives.


You need to choose His plan for the senior years, because it is superior. FOR HIS NAME SAKE, you must prepare for re-tyrement. You need to finish strong.
