It’s My Turn: Finding Identity and Purpose after The Empty Nest
It’s My Turn: Finding Identity and Purpose after The Empty Nest is Ms. Hall’s second self-help book. As with her first title, KNOWING THAT HE WILL: Experiencing God’s Transforming Power, also published by Inks and Bindings, it addresses a situation or developmental stage that she herself has experienced as a mother of two adult sons.
“When the children leave home, many women suffer from malaise and wonder what to do with the rest of their lives. They struggle with a feeling of purposelessness. This Christian author contends that the empty-nest stage is the gateway to new and fulfilling modes of living and an opportunity to enjoy a closer walk with God,” explains a representative for Inks and Bindings.
“Janine has an extensive postgraduate education, but the real gist of the truths expressed in It’s My Turn come from the reading she did to research the topics covered, her own circumstances, conversations with peers, and the deep meaning she finds in her relationship with her Creator and Redeemer. The spiritual enrichment she gained in the process helped her grow as a woman and mother. That growth is the essence of the message Janine hopes to convey to the reader.”
It’s My Turn: Finding Identity and Purpose after The Empty Nest is a collection of approximately seventy essays exploring the female experience immediately before and during the empty-nest stage and the opportunity it presents to not only move on, but also to move upward.
“When our children reach adulthood, we have an increased opportunity to use our time and talents to serve others. Things we’ve always wanted to do but were logically impossible are now well within our reach. Life is far from over, and the possibilities are endless,” adds Janine.
“Middle adulthood is also a good time to reevaluate our spiritual lives and move to a higher level by simplifying and paring a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. A closer walk with him is the lifeblood of a satisfying life and better relationship with others,” concludes Ms. Hall.
It’s My Turn: Finding Identity and Purpose after The Empty Nest is available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the Book Depository. It comes in large print paperback and Amazon Kindle formats.
