FINISHING WELL: CLOSING LIFE’S SIGNIFICANT CHAPTERS
When we cross mid-life, we want the second half to be better than the first. We have laid the foundations and we want to build on them. We have made the investments and we want to protect them. How can we ensure that we will move beyond mid-life to finish well? Some individuals have succeeded in career at the expense of their marriage and family. They have climbed up the ladder of achievement only to find it leaning against the wrong wall.
Finishing Well explores the lives of biblical characters and draws lessons on why some finished well and some finished badly. Applying such lessons to our lives today, it shows how closing significant chapters of our lives (such as episodes of hurt, failure as well as success) puts us on track to finishing well.

About the Book
In life, how we begin and continue is important. But ultimately, it is how we finish that really matters. Some of us have begun well. Some of us have continued well. But how will we finish? Will we finish well, or will we finish badly?
“This book highlights the fact that biographical study is highly profitable for leadership insights. David Wong writes well, using apt illustrations, appropriately using humor, sharing his personal experiences, and identifying insightful leadership principles.
“He does so while examining thirteen biblical characters, deriving both positive and negative observations from incidents in their lives. The overarching theme involves the concept of finishing well—chapters in a life and/or the entire life.
“I recommend this book as a highly valuable leadership book.”
—Professor J. Robert “Bobby” Clinton, Professor of Leadership, Fuller Theological Seminary
