Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart

National best-selling author Dr. Gordon Livingston discusses his journey of faith with Jeff and how he found hope after losing two sons within a year. The experience has led to a series of best-selling books reflecting on the true meaning of faith, hope and what's really important in life. Dr. Gordon Livingston’s national bestseller, Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart, has drawn tens of thousands of readers who have embraced its thirty bedrock truths about life and how best to live it. Its success has led to a follow up book, And Never Stop Dancing.

At 9pm, MPT will air the two-part documentary PRAYER IN AMERICA which asks the question "What role has prayer played in shaping the development and history of America?" The documentary explores contemporary debates about the role of prayer through the lens of history. By asking, rhetorically, "How did we get here?" the show examines the ways in which prayer has contributed to and continues to shape the American experience.
