Second Wind: Finding Purpose & Fire After 60, 70, 80 and Beyond

You are not retired. You are reassigned. The question millions face after 60: "If I'm not my job, my title, my strength, or my busy life anymore… who am I now?" Second Wind is not another book about "staying active" or "aging gracefully." It's a battle manual for the hidden wars every person faces when the world says your best days are behind you. Written by Rodrick Chinodakufa, former teacher and journalist writes from 2 years into his own transition. He knows the wars by name because he's fought them: The Identity Wars — When the mirror shows a stranger, when relevance fades, when your body betrays you and your mind changes. Chapters 1-5 give you language for grief and a path back to recognition. The Relationship Wars — When the house gets quiet, when friends die or drift, when you lose your spouse, when grandkids need you but won't listen, when intimacy changes with age. Chapters 6-12 reframe loneliness, loss, and love for this season. The Eternity Wars — When your job ends but your calling doesn't, when money feels like panic, when regret whispers "if only," when death stops being abstract. Chapters 13-18 show you how to fight with purpose, leave legacy, and finish with fire, not fear. Each chapter ends with a 30-Day Mission — practical, doable steps for individuals or groups. No fluff. No clichés. Just truth + action. Whether you're 60, 70, 80, or "beyond," this book will remind you: Your career may be over. Your contribution isn't. Your orders still stand. You are not done until God says done. If you feel invisible, irrelevant, or afraid of what's next — Second Wind is your call to arms. This is a perfect reader for 60+, adult children buying for parents, church groups, men's/women's ministry, and anyone asking "what now? Light your torch. Your last lap can be your best lap.
