Faithfully follow Jesus through the unique opportunities and challenges of your stage of life.
Our 50s and 60s are two decades with unique opportunities and challenges.
Perhaps you are becoming an empty-nester, considering or entering retirement, caring for elderly parents, or welcoming grandchildren. This stage of life is new and different, but the joyful call of following Jesus is the same.
In Not Old, Not Young, Not Done, youâll find encouragement to faithfully follow Jesus through the ups and downs of this season. No matter what the specific circumstances you might find yourself in during the âafternoon of life,â author Christopher Ash speaks truth to the heart.
Youâll be invigorated to walk intentionally through this fresh season of fruitfulness. As you thoughtfully consider your circumstances, youâll be strengthened to do what God calls you to now, and youâll be preparing your heart and habits for the years to come.
Reflection questions are included and could be used for discussion with close friends or a spouse.

The period of time between middle age and old age has not yet been given a name, but with characteristic wisdom, warmth and insight, Christopher Ash has provided us with a navigational map to chart our progress. The unique privileges, challenges and opportunities of this era are to be enjoyed rather than endured as we follow Jesus and seek to make a difference for his kingdom.
In our fifties and sixties it can be so easy, so comfortable, to step back from serving in the church, stop getting involved in the lives of needy people, and simply settle into a comfortable spirituality that lacks passion for prayer and for new discoveries in the Bible. In this book, Christopher Ash kindly nudges us out of complacency, encouraging us to steward this particular season of life for the kingdom of God.
This book is a lifebuoy to lift you out of the âSea of Disappointmentâ and put you on the âPath of Contentmentâ as you navigate your fifties and sixties. But whatever your age, you will be steadied and strengthened by this pastoral gem from Christopher Ash. I found myself face to face with familiar griefs but also such comforting remedies. The lies we breathe are destabilising usâhere is real stabilising truth and love.
