Halftime : Moving From Success To Significance
$25.99Add to cartAre you ready to move into the second half of your life?
Bob Buford believes the second half of your life can be better than the first. Much better. But first, you need time to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life.
In Halftime, Buford focuses on this important time of transition-the time when, as he says, a person moves beyond the first half of the game of life. It’s halftime, a time of revitalization and for catching a new vision for living the second half, the half where life can be lived at its most rewarding. As Buford explains, “My passion is to multiply all that God has given me, and in the process, give it back.”
Features of this newly updated and expanded 20th Anniversary edition include a foreword by Jim Collins, the bestselling author of Good to Great; new questions for reflection or discussion at the end of each chapter; brand new “halftime” stories of men and women enjoying a second half of significance; specific halftime assignments to guide readers into their second-half mission; an essay by Bob on “The Wisdom of Peter Drucker”; a special update from the author on how the halftime movement is growing nationally, and links to outstanding resources.
Drucker Y Yo – (Spanish)
$14.99Add to cartIn 1982 a young, ambitious East Texas entrepreneur, whose business is growing at double-digit rates, decides there must be more to life. So, oddly enough, he writes a letter to the man whose books he most treasures-Peter F. Drucker, father of modern management theory and practice. As they meet over the years, Buford sees that “Drucker is to management what Shakespeare is to literature.” Their relationship progresses from paid consultant to mentor to close friend.
Drucker & Me tells how two men discover a mutual passion and strategy that will literally change the world. Their disappointment with corporate America leads them to embrace the non-profit sector, including one of the most important developments in the last 30 years-the megachurch movement. Believing non-profit organizations change lives, they begin work with Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, and others to design a new management model for non-profits in the twenty-first century.

Finishing Well : The Adventure Of Life Beyond Halftime
$15.99Add to cartAuthor Bob Buford called them “code breakers.” They are people age 40 and older who have pioneered the art of finishing well in these modern times, and who can teach us to do the same, starting today.
Buford sought out 60 of these trailblazers-including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard, and Dallas Willard-and has recorded their lively conversations in these pages so that they can serve as “mentors in print” for all of us.
“Twenty years from now,” Buford writes, “the rules for this second adulthood as a productive season of life may be better known. But for now, we’re out across the frontier breaking new ground.”
Buford gives you a chance to sit at the feet of these pioneers and learn the art of finishing well so you can shift into a far more fulfilling life now, no matter your age, and pursue a lasting significance that will be a legacy for future generations.
