With unemployment percentages in the double digits, there are hundreds of thousands of Americans who are struggling. Serious questions are being asked about how to cope with the everyday spiritual and emotional circumstance of being outside the workforce.The unemployed life seems full of confusion, loneliness, and frustration. The longer the job search lasts, the longer life seems an endless experience of wandering in a wilderness of disappointment and unresolved questions. Prayers seem to go unanswered to the point that we wonder what God is doing to us or for us, and we cry out to Him in worry and need. How do we handle the circumstance? What does God expect from us during a time that often seems like we are stranded out in the desert and not making any progress? Unemployed: Life in the Wilderness gives the reader a practical guide to learning and growing spiritually while unemployed, and is written from the perspective of one who has traveled through that same desert experience. Author Len M. Allen addresses the top eight issues faced during any significant period of unemployment in a format comfortable for individual reading or group discussion. He clarifies concerns about anger, fear, prayer, God's provision, strength, courage, encouragement, integrity, disappointment, seeking God's will, and waiting on Him, all with the jobless in mind.

A practical plan for the millions of people in their fifties and sixties who find themselves out of work, unable to find a job, and financially incapable of retiring, Elizabeth White shows how to get past any blame or shame, overcome denial, and find a path to a new normal. Elizabeth White has an impressive resume, which includes advanced degrees from Harvard and Johns Hopkins and a distinguished employment history. She started a business that failed and then tried to reenter the work force in her mid-fifties, only to learn that there is little demand for workers her age. For a while Elizabeth lived in denial, but then had to adjust to her new reality, shedding the gym membership, getting a roommate, forgoing restaurant meals, and so on. She soon learned she wasn’t alone: there are millions of Americans in her predicament and worse, exhausted from trying to survive and overcome every day. In 55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal, Elizabeth invites you to look beyond your immediate circumstances to what is possible in the new normal of financial insecurity. You’re in your fifties and sixties, and may have saved nothing or not nearly enough to retire. It’s too late for blame or shame—and it wouldn’t help anyway. What you want to know is what you can do now to have a shot at a decent retirement. “This relevant and well-researched book will appeal not only to those 55 plus, but to the generation coming right behind them who may face similar issues” (Booklist, starred review). 55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal is a must-have for anyone whose income has suddenly diminished or even disappeared. “Providing practical solutions with a focus on retirement and maximizing savings, White maintains authority with a realistic, empathetic tone throughout. This deeply useful work will resonate with aging readers of all income levels and situations” (Publishers Weekly). If you’re ready to get serious about feeling good again, this book is for you.
