Why do others expect to retire from life when they reach their senior years?\" The key element in those who don't quit is resilience. Those who have it, MacDonald insists, have gathered all the lessons from life-successes and failures-to build a foundation of strength and character, preparing them to face anything.\nUsing examples from the Bible, from his own life, and from the lives of contemporary people, MacDonald identifies the characteristics of resilience, leading readers through the self-assessment needed to develop them. The journey is demanding and humbling, he reminds us, but the rewards of living well are immeasurable.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0785271511\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0785271511.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:MacDonald, Gordon\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43386958807101,"sku":"BVV.0785271511.VG","price":6.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0785271511-0.jpg?v=1784670292","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/a-resilient-life-you-can-move-ahead-no-matter-what-1","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
