(NewsUSA) - "Retirement Planning That Delivers" by Pete Bosse, PhD, CFP

It’s not unusual to fear the unknown when it comes to retirement, such as: What will I do with all my free time? What do I still want to accomplish? Will I have enough money to live on? How will I stay connected to friends from work? How will I stay healthy in retirement? Answers to all these questions and many more are contained in this book.

While other books focus on the numbers and the math — the spreadsheets, savings goals and investment strategies — “Retirement Planning That Delivers” focuses on 80% lifestyle, 20% finances. What if retirement could be a time to rediscover your passions, deepen relationships and make every day fulfilling — without the constant worry about finances? Whether you’re just starting your journey or feel like you’re behind, this guide offers practical, actionable advice to help you take control of your retirement today.

“The Sooner You Forget” by Christopher Bensinger

In this little-known chapter of World War II history, a young American soldier must reconcile what happened to him at the hands of the Nazis — and his own government.

Soon to be eighteen, Charlton Buckley is looking to escape the grips of his dead-end Wisconsin hometown and abusive father. He channels his youthful enthusiasm toward piloting for the Air Force — but then his plane is shot down on his first mission, and he’s captured and sent to a German stalag. As the Nazis’ war efforts start to fail, they pull Jewish soldiers from the Allied ranks and transport them to a secret labor death camp. Despite his Christian background, Buckley is taken, and there he experiences horrors beyond imagination.

Navigating trauma, faith, love and loyalty, “The Sooner You Forget” is the story of one man’s search to find true liberation decades after imprisonment. Purchase at https://amzn.to/4c6qedT.
