Reflections on Aging and Spiritual Growth

Noted, experienced voices in the Christian community come together in this volume to reflect on aging as part of their faith journey. One by one, they offer lessons and wisdom about the changes, challenges, and advantages of aging.

To read this book is to sit with these men and women on retreat, discovering the fulfillment of life, its purpose and meaning. Together, you will reflect on questions such as these: How have your losses deepened or diminished your faith? How do you affirm aging as a person of faith in a society perpetually fascinated with the young and the new? What spiritual direction might you offer to others on the journey of faith--young and old? What counsel does our Christian heritage offer as we live in or approach our later years?
