New from Thomas Bachhuber, Ed.D.
The Next Stop
Aging◆Faith◆Forevermore
How love connects the here and now with the hereafter.
We spend a lifetime learning how to leave one room and enter the next. This is the last doorway, and love is what carries through.
The book
Five books about the working life came first. This one asks the question sitting underneath all of them: what are we walking toward?
Tom spent more than two decades sitting with people at the crossroads of career, ministry, and retirement. The same question kept surfacing near the end of every conversation, usually quietly, usually last.
The Next Stop is his answer, gathered from personal reflection, from theology, and from what science has begun to say about consciousness and continuance. It is written for readers far enough along the road to have started wondering.
The author
A counselor by training, a companion by practice. Fifteen years of retreats taught him where the real questions live.
