Reimagine Retirement: Planning and Living for the Glory of God

Retirement is the dream, right? Work hard, save well, and one day, you finally get to kick back and enjoy the reward. At least, that’s how most of us think about it. But what if there’s more to retirement than just taking it easy?

In Reimagine Retirement, Chris Cagle—recent retiree and seasoned financial professional—invites you to see retirement through a different lens: a biblical one. Instead of just asking how to retire, he challenges us to ask why. What does Scripture say about this season of life? How can we steward our time, resources, and purpose in a way that honors God?

With wisdom, insight, and a refreshing perspective, Chris helps readers rethink retirement—not as an exit from meaningful work but as an opportunity to invest in what matters most. Whether retirement is years away or right around the corner, this book will equip you to step into it with clarity, purpose, and a vision that lasts beyond a nest egg.

C.J. (Chris) Cagle retired in 2018 after a career in IT and finance. Now, he serves as a church deacon, leads a stewardship ministry, and writes on biblical financial wisdom at RetirementStewardship.com. His work has been featured by The Gospel Coalition, Desiring God, and Radical.net. Chris holds degrees from Rollins College and the Florida Institute of Technology, with additional studies in CIS and theology. Married for nearly 50 years, he enjoys family, hiking, fishing, and playing guitar—especially when it connects to his faith and church community.
