Halftime is the point in your life when you transition to the second half of your life -- the proverbial "midlife crisis."

Bob Buford spent the first half of his life building his financial portfolio. His son's untimely death forced him to re-evaluate his definition of success, and to re-orient his priorities. He made the choice to devote himself to Kingdom work, and to build his eternal portfolio. His books Halftime and Game Plan chronicle his journey and provide encouragement and direction for those seeking a turning point.

On September 10, in a live seminar hosted by Gene Getz, Bob will share the principles he discovered in his time of introspection and self-examination, and will help your people move from "success to significance." Ken Blanchard will offer additional insights and illustrations.

This seminar is not just for those who have reached Halftime in their lives -- it's never too early to take a good, hard look at your priorities and to plan now for the future you want. Will it be temporal success -- or eternal significance?

This evening seminar is designed for your staff, lay leaders, and church members. Invite your congregation!
