Your midlife doesn't have to be a crisis. In fact, the second half of your life can be better than the first. Let bestselling author Bob Buford show you how.

What do you want to do with the rest of your life?

In Halftime, Buford provides encouragement and insight to propel your life on a new course to true significance--and the best years of your life. Buford focuses on this important time of transition to the second half of your life, giving you the tools you need to:


  • Take stock of your successes and accomplishments thus far

  • Redefine significance and what it means to you

  • Identify your personal goals

  • Develop a mission for serving God in the second half of your life

This updated and expanded 20th anniversary edition of Halftime also includes questions for reflection at the end of each chapter, brand new stories of men and women enjoying a second half of significance, and specific halftime assignments to guide you into your second-half mission.

Praise for Halftime:

"According to Bob Buford, the first half of life is a quest for success; the second is a quest for significance. Bob should know; he has achieved the first and is showing us the latter. You'll find this book to be unique, inspiring, and practical. Read it and finish strong!"

--Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author

"This book is for successful people who want more fulfillment in their lives and realize it won't come from the next victory, the next sale, the next conquest, or significant increase in their bottom line. Let Bob Buford be your guide to make sure your best years are ahead of you."

--Ken Blanchard, bestselling coauthor of The One-Minute Manager

Bob Buford is an entrepreneur who in the first half of life grew a successful cable television company. In his second half, Buford founded the Halftime Institute, an organization designed to teach, coach, and connect marketplace leaders to discover God’s calling in their lives. He also started Leadership Network, an organization that seeks to accelerate the emergence of effective churches by identifying, connecting, and resourcing innovative church leaders.
