The second quarter of life is when you are faced with the unexpected realities of life. You might hear words you never thought would apply to you: * "Your mortgage payment is past due."* "We are cutting back, and your job is no longer required."You could experience things you never imagined would apply to you:* You say your final goodbye to a loved one. * You receive a devastating diagnosis from a doctor.* Your children make decisions that disappoint you.* You burn out. Many times, the second quarter ends tragically -- even for wonderful, God-loving people. Marriages die. People commit suicide. Jobs become stale and unfulfilling. Pornography looks attractive and becomes addictive. Families feud and take sides over issues that destroy relationships of lifelong friends. Alcohol becomes a new best friend. Depression feels normal. You may be filled with guilt or loneliness. You never intended to be where you are, but somehow, life's pressures blitz you. The purpose of Second Quarter is to help you create a spiritual and life game plan to get the most out of your second quarter and beyond. It is written about people who discovered that hope and help were available to them in the scriptures even during their weakest moments. The Second Quarter plan includes:* Preparing for the second quarter before it arrives. In this section, you will learn how to dig your faith well deep, guard your integrity, prioritize your priorities, live with optimism and pray like there is no tomorrow.* Prospering during your second quarter. This section provides guidance on what to do when adversity strikes, unanticipated change happens, your values are threatened, your relationships have become soured, and your commitment is wavering. * The third section is about mentoring others through their second quarter by living your call and leading the way.The book is designed for individual use as well as Bible study groups. Each chapter is followed by thought provoking questions to help facilitate discussion.
