Author Description

Finishing a job well done is something to celebrate. Each of us has been given an allotted time from birth to death over which we have little control. However, we do have responsibility for what happens in between. Every day offers a new starting point and opportunity to regroup, which can determine the trajectory of what we accomplish and where we finish. Rod draws from his own experience on three continents as a long-time pastor and Bible teacher, family man, and sports enthusiast, and from the real-life experiences of Bible characters. He addresses a wide range of social issues and questions, such as: How can we discern the truth, and make right decisions? Can we believe the Bible in relation to cultural opinion and scientific discoveries today? Why is there so much upheaval? What is God's purpose and plan for the future? What will life be like in heaven? Rod considers emotional maturity and what it means to mature well; how to begin anew, make the most of life stages and leave a legacy; how to care for personal health, finances, and relationships; and finally, how to prepare for dying and finishing well!
