The Dark Night of the Shed

'Is that it?'There comes a point in life when men realise that things have changed. They have spent years climbing the corporate ladder, only to find it was leaning against the wrong wall. Their odds of being chosen as the next James Bond have diminished to zero. And they ask themselves this crucial question.[differentiated] Nick Page has been there, done that - and built the shed. Why do so many men have so much, and yet feel as though they have failed? Why do some men start wearing Lycra and running up mountains, while others don a toupee and run off with another woman?In this characteristically funny, profound and honest look at the fears, hopes and challenges of midlife, Nick Page draws lessons from the story of Jacob, the wisdom of Carl Jung and the heroism of Percy the Park Keeper. Through his own story and those of other men he's met along the way. Nick explores how the so-called midlife crisis is in fact an invitation to transformation into a deeper, richer, fuller life with God. The Dark Night of the Shed shows how we can emerge from the dark night of midlife with a new vision of God, a fresh sense of purpose and, most importantly, a really good shed.[Author photo]Writer, speaker, historian, and shed-builder, Nick Page has written over 70 books, including the Longest Week trilogy, A Nearly Infallible History of Christianity and Revelation Road. He lives in Oxfordshire with his wife Claire and their three daughters. URL/Twitter/Facebook: hodder.co.uk nickpage.co.uk@hodderbooks @nickofeynshamnick.page
