"This book is the result of fifteen years of answering questions about halftime, " writes Buford. "I've focused on the areas that seem to come up most from those who contact me, and I've answered them in much the same way I would answer you if we sat down together over coffee. So in a very real sense, this book allows me to be your companion as you negotiate the ups and downs of the whole halftime experience."
In Halftime, Buford provides encouragement and insight to propel your life on a new course to true significance--and the best years of your life. Buford focuses on this important time of transition to the second half of your life, giving you the tools you need to:
This updated and expanded 20th anniversary edition of Halftime also includes questions for reflection at the end of each chapter, brand new stories of men and women enjoying a second half of significance, and specific halftime assignments to guide you into your second-half mission.
"According to Bob Buford, the first half of life is a quest for success; the second is a quest for significance. Bob should know; he has achieved the first and is showing us the latter. You'll find this book to be unique, inspiring, and practical. Read it and finish strong!"
This is a book that should be read by people in both halves of their lives. It is a book that I would hope my children would read as they start their professional careers, using it as a guide and road map to figure out their lives for themselves. It is a book that should be read and reread by those of us in or reaching the second half. It is a book that challenges the reader to action, and in taking that action, to greater service to themselves, their families, their communities, and their Maker.
This book reveals the heart of a man who uses his time and talent for God and the care of people throughout the world. Down through the centuries God has especially blessed those men and women who have a good heart, and Bob is one of those. The message of this book will make a valuable contribution.
I took what I had written to a publisher who decided to turn it into a book for which he had modest expectations. Since then, it is safe to say a movement has evolved around Halftime. More than 500,000 people have read this book, the majority of them using it as a catalyst to discover their own second half. The organization I founded, Leadership Network, responded to the thousands of letters I received by creating the Halftime Group, which provides resources and coaching to personally guide others through the journey from success to significance. People continue to buy the book in significant numbers, and the Halftime Group is busier than ever. Apparently the still, small voice that spoke to me about changing my game plan more than twenty years ago sounds familiar to people today, so familiar that my publisher asked me to revise and update the book.

"Richard tells men who they really are. He gives them what they need to finally 'get it.'" --from the foreword by Jerry LeachmanMen just "get" this book! It seems to resonate with them. Men who don't read many books read this one and want to get it into the hands of others. Why? Because Richard Simmons "gets it"--he identifies the ultimate issue all men face regardless of their age, occupation, or marital status."Men so often define themselves by what they do, who they know, or what they own. And when they do so, they unwittingly set themselves up for great confusion and failure in their personal lives." --Richard SimmonsGathering support from the writings of noted authors and social commentators, Christian and secular, Simmons emphatically reminds us that every man at some point in life suffers misfortune. No one is exempt. However, the challenges of life offer men the potential for great good. In the midst of these struggles, we have the opportunity to see our lives transformed. The True Measure of a Man is uplifting, challenging, and most of all it points the way to personal and spiritual growth--based on the one, true measure we were meant to use! With the free, downloadable study guide, it serves as a superb resource for men's groups and church ministries. This book will change your life...and, perhaps, the lives of those closest to you. "The True Measure of a Man captures the importance of character over achievement. Richard connects the dots for men who are looking for something more in their lives than mere success." --Coach Bill McCartney, founder of Promise Keepers"Should you read this book? If you can relate to any of the following, you will definitely want to soak in Richard Simmons' soul-probing The True Measure of a Man: You are weary, you've lost your way, or never found it. You've been humbled, had all the props knocked out, and been turned upside down. You want to know how you got off track, get your bearings back, and figure out what really matters. You want to surrender to the truth, and you're tired of living a lie. However, if you still think you're smarter than everyone else, you just wouldn't get it. This is a book I plan to read again." --Patrick Morley, PhD, author of The Man in the Mirror and How to Survive the Economic Meltdown"The True Measure of a Man is a book I wish I had written, which is about the best compliment I can pay to any book. It is what I would call a great read both accessible and profound in its understanding of the inner forces that make up the male psychology as a man passes through midlife into, hopefully, a productive and fulfilling second season." --Bob Buford, Founder and Chairman, Leadership Network, author of Halftime and Finishing Well"The True Measure of a Man is a book for every man of every faith or no faith at all. He'll learn why he doesn't have to live with the guilt, insecurity, and fear that most men experience but often pretend they don't." --Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, Weekly Standard, and regular contributor/commentator with FOX News Channel"Richard E. Simmons III's book The True Measure of a Man is so full of common sense and practicality. It is especially poignant and meaningful at such a critical time in our country. May we all come to know God's grace, that he might teach us humility and kindness for all." --Ben Crenshaw, golf legend and two-time Masters Tournament winner
Peter Greer and Greg Lafferty offer insight for navigating midlife with fresh clarity and purpose. Drawing on the wisdom of the book of Ecclesiastes, they show how we can come to grips with the realities of who we are and what we should become in the years ahead. In a world that can seem meaningless at times, God offers perspective that anchors us, renews us and propels us back into the world in meaningful mission and service.
"As I approach my forties, I find myself thinking about what's next and assessing what I've done and have left to do. At a time when all of us at any age can find ourselves pondering our gifts, talents and callings, this book calls us to be hopeful through all seasons and believe that our best is yet to come, no matter our age. Just as Moses didn't start his most notable ministry until later in life, this book invites us to not waste our time thinking what could have been and focus instead on what could be."
"I turned forty this year, and I'm happy to report I'm still the same person I was last year . . . but not without a bit of existential angst about the brevity of life. In this timely book, Peter and Greg guide us to reflect on the gifts of growing older, inviting us to learn from past mistakes and refocus on what matters most. This is a book everyone in the midst of midlife needs to read."
"The sobering realities of midlife may offer the most opportunity and risk for followers of Christ. During this time, the importance of our ability to thoughtfully reflect and respond to God's call to walk with him cannot be overstated. In 40/40 Vision, Peter and Greg have written an honest and essential guidebook to help us navigate the rest of our days. It's a must-read."
"Peter and Greg's book reminds me to look beyond life's repetitive and sometimes seemingly meaningless cycles, to the deepened, perspective-driven wisdom and productivity that await me on the other side of forty. The book weaves practical, real life examples alongside musings of Solomon from Ecclesiastes to engage the reader to reach for a higher world, in living 'above the sun,' no matter the life stage they are part of." 2ff7e9595c
