How to survive the rest of your life
Dermott Donnelly
- Reading
- Try reading a section at a time, then discuss which ideas feel useful or unfamiliar. The four named sections provide natural stopping points.
- Themes
- Faith in daily life: Everyday challenges are presented as opportunities for God to transform minds and attitudes. The guide frames ordinary challenges as opportunities for Christian spiritual transformation.
- Connection and openness: A section concerns bringing thoughts and feelings to God and being open to others, and says people cannot make it alone. The book presents this favourably.
- Remembering people and events: A section treats thoughts and memories as a record of friends and events worth treasuring. The book presents this favourably.
- Worth knowing
- The guide explicitly centres Christian faith, including bringing thoughts and feelings to God. Consider whether that religious framing fits your family’s beliefs and the kind of guidance you want to share.
