Transitions Through Adult Life is a summary of what is known about adults and how they develop. More than a book describing life's crises, it portrays the potential of life's transitions. It seeks to offer answers to the problems it analyzes. This book provides an overview of the various stages of adult life, what is typical in those stages, and how the church needs to be responsive to adults as they traverse the stages. The twenty-six chapters deal with young adulthood, middle adulthood, and older adulthood and most of the major events and challenges that one may encounter in those stages, including courtship, singleness, faith development, career, child-rearing, loss of loved ones, divorce, physical decline, and more. The chapters are succinct summaries of the significant dimensions of the topics calling upon existing research and the author's own keen powers of synthesis.
