Wise & witty. Scriptural & sensible. Interesting  & inspiring.Read about your future...what it could be and  all it should be.             Leith Anderson             President, National Association of Evangelicals             Pastor Emeritus, Wooddale Church, Eden Prairie, Minn. Only  Christians can fully live now until we're fully alive then!  With uncomfortable  realism and unflinching hope, the Sweetings show us how.             Larry Crabb             Author, speaker, counselor/psychologist What a wonderful, helpful  and wise book!  I'm an old, cynical preacher and this book makes me less cynical  and far more wise about my life and my own journey to the "finish line." But this  isn't just a book for old folks.  It's a book about life and how to live it.   Read it and give it to everyone you know!             Steve Brown             Author of Three Free Sins and Scandalous Freedom             Bible teacher and talk show host on Key Life radio             Professor emeritus at Reformed Theological Seminary How  to Finish the Christian Life is one of the best books I ever read ... wise without  being pretentious, heart-warming, funny, full of common sense and supremely relevant  insights and advice for all of us who are trying to joyously follow Jesus right  up to the very moment we see him face-to-face. I not only recommend this wonderful  book, I've ordered 50 copies to share with friends.             Bill Armstrong             President of Colorado Christian University             Former U.S. Senator from Colorado My  longtime friend George Sweeting and his son, Don, have teamed up to write a spiritual  gem on how to finish the Christian life. At age 72, the book hit home with me big  time. That's why I finished it in one sitting.             Pat Williams             Senior Vice President, Orlando Magic             Author of Leadership Excellence Living well and dying well.   For those of us over 50 (and especially for some of us pretty far beyond 50), both  perspectives are so important.  George and Don Sweeting help us to focus on  both perspectives.  We need to prepare to meet our Maker who also is our Savior.   In the mean time, we are still His servants here and our job from which we never  retire is to honor Him in our ministry to others.  Great help here for those  who want to finish as faithful servants of Jesus Christ and hear His "Well done".             Robert C. (Ric) Cannada, Jr.             Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary This book will  enthrall you! The Sweetings follow our Lord's pattern of making a point by telling  a story. The book reads like a fast-paced historical/biographical novel. Yet, it  inspires the reader to act on the   secrets for God-honoring victories  all the way to life's terminus. It's an elixir for baby boomers and older people  tempted to die before they are dead. I plan to reread it several times - - as is  my habit with a good book, and to give copies to my aged friends.             John Haggai             Founder/President, The Haggai Institute Since the beginning of  my Christian life George Sweeting, one of the great leaders of the church, has been  a mentor to me.  I then had the privilege to mentor his son Don.  What  a thrill for me to read this wonderful book written by a magnificent father-son  team.  It's well worth reading.             Chuck Colson             Founder, Prison Fellowship Ministries             Colson Center for Christian Worldview Anyone who ever ran track  in school knows that the most important part is how we finish.  Seeing those  who faltered and failed late in life after so many years of wonderful service has  always seemed an enigma to me.  Yet, in the Bible and outside the Bible, the  reality is there.  George and Don Sweeting have done all of us a service in  combining their years of integrity and excellence in the volume, How to Finish the  Christian Life. All of us would do well to seek to apply these practical principles  as we move toward "The Finish Line."  Read it and reap.              Dr. O. S. Hawkins             President and Chief Executive Officer, GuideStone Financial Resources             Former pastor of First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas Finishing  is important whether it is a golf swing, a tennis stroke, or an academic pursuit.  But finishing well in life's journey is absolutely critical. Grasp the wisdom in  this book and you will discover how to live a full and fulfilling life until your  last breath and beyond. George and Don Sweeting are experienced travelers on the  journey of life and will guide you in knowing your purpose and completing God's  plan for our life with confident joy and expectant faith. I personally devoured  this book and am keeping it on my read- again- and -again list.             Jack Graham             Pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano/Dallas, Texas
