Embracing the Future: Preparing for Life After Retirement

by Roy A. Prete

Latter-day Saints live six years longer, on average, than the population at large, giving Church members an extended period of potentially productive life and service. But the challenges of retirement, aging, and related issues will eventually need to be tackled at some point in everyone s life. This book is intended to address some of the issues related to later life, within an LDS context, and with the goal of making the years following retirement more meaningful, productive, and fulfilling. This helpful guide contains chapters from doctors, lawyers, marriage and family consultants, gospel scholars, and others who have drawn from their own expertise, experience, and research. Many of the contributors have been selected from the Emeritus Seventy and general Church officers, including Elder John H. Groberg, Elder Alexander B. Morrison, Elder L. Lionel Kenrick, Ardeth G. Kapp, and Elaine L. Jack.
