Aging Faithfully : The Holy Invitation Of Growing Older
$16.99Add to cartEvery new year of life is an undiscovered country.
There’s no map through our later years, and the new terrain can bring anxiety and uncertainty, when our souls are more preoccupied with what has been lost than what is to come. While our physical stamina, independence, and career fulfillment decline, each of these losses invites us to grow, inward and upward. God calls us to let go of our need for fulfillment and embrace the gift of fruitfulness so that we might be transformed in this final season of our lives.
In Aging Faithfully, spiritual director Alice Fryling guides our walk with God in a vulnerable time, listening for his voice and responding. As we age, something unusual happens: God renews us from within, when we allow him access. As we accept our responses to the aging process, we grow closer to God and experience his grace.
Are you open to increased hope, joy, and transformation? Would you like to grow in life-giving ways–no matter the circumstances? Do you have the courage to let go of former ways of thinking to receive love and life in new ways?
We all age differently, and God calls each of us to new spiritual birth as we mature. Whether you are approaching the beginning, middle, or end of your senior years, you are invited. Come and be transformed.
Aging With Grace
$18.99Add to cartAging with Grace by the Power of the Gospel
There are many blessings that come with age: retirement, grandchildren, travel, and life experience. Today’s culture, however, marginalizes old age, often portraying it as burdensome and hopeless. Many older women can feel like an encumbrance rather than a blessing to their friends and family members. In response to these struggles, Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt encourage women to find hope through both real-life and biblical accounts of women who rediscovered gospel-rooted joy later in life. In each chapter, readers will be encouraged as they experience afresh a gospel that is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.
Value Of Wrinkles
$14.99Add to cartWhat we miss out on when we overvalue youth
We’re so afraid of aging that we begin to devalue ourselves and others with each passing year. The phrase “30 years old” incites panic. Seniors live in separate communities with little interaction with young people, and middle-aged people spend millions each year on anti-aging products.
But what if we have it all wrong? Isabel Tom grew up living with grandparents and has spent over a decade of her career in end-of-life care. Today she:
*teaches you what the elderly offer us that we cannot live without
*challenges our cultural beliefs and practices that affect those who are aging
*gives you practical insight on how to care for those older than youPlus, the book includes a section written from senior citizens entitled, “I Wish You Knew . . .” Age isn’t a curse, and the elderly among us deserve better. Will you be a part of the change?

The interwoven life stories relate to trials most seniors face. Despite feeling cast aside and marginalized, the writer claims that “We have not done our best work, yet!” The book compels the reader to keep fighting to stay viable until the last person of the age 65+ generation leaves the life stage that they own. Golden agers are nudged to finish their dreams and use their talents in ways that were not available until now leaving a “He who serves is greatest of all” legacy. Taylor is not finished and will not step down claiming that “Seniors Rule” and must stand their ground as the most important fiber of the nation.
Aging Gracefully
$7.99Add to cartHow does the Bible instruct us as we grow older? Age gracefully, age wisely, age resolutely to the glory of God.
There are few longings in my heart deeper than this: That God would let me live a godly, purposeful, dignified old age. I mean to encourage us both to age gracefully, to age wisely, to age resolutely to God’s glory.
We are all aging. We are passing through time until we reach the end of our time. We soon learn that greater age brings greater sorrow but also greater joy, especially to those who are in Christ.
To age gracefully we must age in Christ and for Christ. What does it look like to age gracefully? What do we need to be doing now to ensure we finish this race strong?
These are questions for all Christians, young and old. Thankfully the Bible speaks clearly about how to age and how to age well. Join me in exploring what the Bible has to say about age and aging and learn how we can all hear those beautiful words, “well done, good and faithful servant.”
