Seasoned pastor and church leader Will Willimon excels at creating thought-provoking, accessible books for working pastors and seminarians. In this book, he takes a theologically rich look at numerous aspects of growing old. Drawing on Scripture, literature, current research, and his experiences as an aging adult, he reflects on aging as a spiritual journey. He explores the challenging realties as well as the rewarding joys of growing old and shows pastors how to help their congregants grow old gracefully and in good Christian hope. He also offers practical advice on helping church members as they encounter retirement, aging, caring for the aging, loss, bereavement, and finding faith in the last quarter of life. This eloquent, delightfully Christian perspective on aging will be of interest to all who care for aging souls. Chapters: Aging with Scripture; The storm of aging; Retiring with God; Successful aging; With God in the last quarter of life; Growing old in church; Ending in God. Includes name and Scripture indexes. Part of the ‘Pastoring for Life: Theological Wisdom for Ministering Well’ series. |
