“Writing with spiritual depth and richness, medical expertise, relational saavy, and godly common sense, Dunlop gives insights and strategies that will prove invaluable to those seeking to stay well as they age. Dunlops writing is filled with a refreshing combination of sober realism and hope-filled optimism. Both his commitment to holistic human wellness and his passion for God to be glorified throughout are infectious. A must read!”

“Drawing from decades as a caring and compassionate physician, Dr. Dunlop shares insights and strategies about life choices that result in successful aging. He provides actual patient vignettes, which clearly illustrate the biblical basis for wellness and wholeness that go beyond just physical health. He challenges readers to prayerful self-examination that can lead to sound and lasting change. His tone is pastoral and personal, as if he were sitting alongside the reader and gently counseling. The chapters are sprinkled with humor and include many good references for those who want deeper understanding. This book encompasses all we need to hear from someone who is wise and godly.”

“Refreshingly holistic and consistent with the biblical concept of shalom, rather than the material-spiritual dualism so common in contemporary Christian thought, Dunlop addresses not only physical and mental wellness but also social, financial, spiritual, and emotional wellness. Im already applying some of its lessons and pray many others will use it to help them improve the extent to which they live well for the glory of God!”

“The desire to be well and the reading of Dunlops book run on parallel tracks. Heading into their senior years, readers who dont have the time or expertise to thoroughly research the issues facing them, issues about which they must make decisions before its too late, will find this a well-organized and right-sized aid. I found his brief section on dementia and memory loss especially helpful.”

“A deep reading of the book reveals many pearls that the disciplined and attentive physician John Dunlop has uncovered over the years of taking care of elderly patients and observing their lives, as well as his own. This book will challenge your thinking and your doing.”

“In todays busy medical practice, doctors rarely have the time to sit down and share all the advice needed to keep patients well. Here, in one volume, Dr. Dunlop has collected everything I wish I had time to teach my patients. With advice that is seasoned, solid, and medically sound, he provides all you need to know to keep you out of the doctors waiting room!”

“Dr. Dunlop speaks from a wealth of personal experience as a beloved physician to countless older people, watching them live and die welland poorly. A lifelong and careful study of the Bible has given him an invaluable perspective on how to run with endurance the race that is set before us. We long to keep up, and even to excel, but how? If you want a wealth of biblically sound and immensely practical strategies for staying well, youve come to the right place. This book is a treasure!”

“Wisdom comes from great knowledge and long experience, and this book is full of strategies for lifes second half from a physician who has both. Its advice is practical and priceless. Everyone over fifty should read this book!”

“This is a fascinating book filled with rich, practical wisdom from the Bible and from a lifetime of treating thousands of patients. Highly recommended!”
