Unfinished: Essays on Faithfulness, When Time is Short

Most lives do not resolve.

Work remains unfinished. Ambitions soften but do not disappear. Time narrows, even as responsibility deepens. For those who have lived long enough to feel the weight of what was begun but not completed, the question is no longer how to finish everything, but how to remain faithful within limits.

This collection of essays reflects on aging, legacy, and the work that must sometimes be laid down. Drawing quietly from Scripture, it resists tidy conclusions and easy consolation. Instead, it attends to endurance, obedience, and the discipline of stopping without despair.

These essays are not instructions for success or guides to reinvention. They are companions for those learning how to live honestly with unfinished work—without bitterness, without denial, and without the false comfort of clean endings.

Written for readers who value seriousness, faith, and restraint, this book offers a steady voice for a season of reckoning—and a way forward that does not require resolution.
