The 22 practical ideas are exactly what I needed to know!"
--Patrick Morley, PhD, Executive Chairman at Man in the Mirror and bestselling author of 21 books, including The Man in the Mirror and The Christian Man

"I tend to avoid books that give 'self-help' advice--life is too complicated for easy formulas. The more I went through Fit over 50, however, the more I learned. Drawing on the latest research, the authors have assembled a remarkable list of practical suggestions on how to flourish in every way."
--Philip Yancey, author of Fearfully and Wonderfully: The Marvel of Bearing God's Image (with Dr. Paul Brand)

--Gary D. Chapman, PhD, author of The 5 Love Languages
