I found "Beyond Halftime" by Bob Buford not as engaging as his original "Halftime" or even "Finishing Well" both of which I would give 4.5 stars. The key take away for me in this book was the sense of urgency and the need to take action sooner in one's life to find significance even while still in your first half.

[Terry Lutz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Pretty insightful and interesting thoughts on how to spend the second half
A bit too much religion overtones for me, but like the message of gifts and gratitude
We are blessed

Lots and lots of religion in this book.

July 2012 - The Halftime books series really hits home. What is my plan for the 2nd half of my life? I highly recommend both halftime books for the age 40+ group.
