Sinopsis

On Travel presents a pyrotechnic display of cracking one-liners, cynical wordplay and comic observation, mining three thousand years of global wit and wisdom: from Pliny to Spinoza and from Albert Einstein to Aunt Augusta. Beyond the mad diversity of opinions and ideas, there is a gradually emerging consensus: that other people are crucial to our understanding of ourselves and that there is more than one right way to be. It also offers occasional practical tips to make the most of your trip, ranging from advice on choosing your companions to the importance of tethering your camel. And it proves that travel – far from being an indulgent escape – is real preparation for the journey through life.

    I wish I could put this book into the hands of every man of retirement age. Buy two and give one away. - Erwin Lutzer 
    One of the things I learned in the NFL is that games are won or lost in the fourth quarter. How you finish the game typically determines the outcome. - Rick Nuzum 
    The Bible does not say anything about retirement, but it says everything about rehirement. Be a substitute teacher for your grandchildren - Ron Blue 
    Many Christian men have followed the American dream of retirement-moving to a warm climate, seeking comfort, and enjoying their golden years in leisure. But too often, the dream fades when health declines, and they return home to find distant relationships with their children and grandchildren. The years meant for rest and enjoyment can become years of regret. 
    In Helping Men Finish Well at Any Age, Dr. Duke Heller challenges men to redefine their retirement years with a purpose that aligns with God's calling. Through biblical wisdom, practical advice, and personal experience from over 60 years of marriage, Duke creates a roadmap to finishing life well-not in isolation, but in meaningful connection with family, faith, and impact. 
    Let this book guide you to a fulfilling and God-honoring finish as you prepare for the moment you hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant." 
    Invest your life in the people who will be sitting in the front row of your funeral. God cares how you finish! 
    Dr. Duke Heller is a retired dentist, devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather committed to the biblical principles of "finishing well." The author of two previous books draws on decades of marriage and personal experience to guide men seeking to restore and strengthen relationships with their children and grandchildren in retirement.

    The origins of Egyptian medicine trace back to the earliest periods of ancient Egypt, where the intertwining of practical knowledge and spiritual beliefs laid the foundation for one of the most advanced medical systems of the ancient world. As early as the Pre-Dynastic period, evidence of rudimentary medical practices reveals that Egyptians were already exploring ways to treat injuries and ailments using natural resources available in their environment. 
    Religion played a fundamental role in shaping the practice of medicine in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians believed that the gods held power over health and illness, with many deities associated with specific aspects of healing. For instance, Sekhmet, the lioness goddess, was both a bringer of plague and a healer, while Thoth, the god of wisdom, was revered as a patron of physicians. Temples dedicated to these deities often served as centers for both worship and healing, where priests acted as both spiritual leaders and medical practitioners. 
    Early medical practices were closely linked to mythology, with illnesses often attributed to divine displeasure or the influence of malevolent spirits. Healing rituals and incantations were designed to restore the balance between the individual and the divine order, highlighting the Egyptian belief in a holistic approach to health. The blending of prayer, magic, and practical remedies reflects a medical philosophy that considered both the physical and spiritual dimensions of wellness.
