Book Details

When I reached my 80’s, I was shocked by the changes in my life. That included new aches and pains in the body, as well as many losses. To help me accept this aging process, I began to read everything written about it. As I read volumes and spoke with my aging friends, I learned many good tips. With my background in Biblical Studies, this book “Aging With God’s Grace” was born. It has a positive spin, with 16 chapters using Biblical examples and references, as well as personal examples and stories. The theme is definitely “The best is yet to come” -(when you lean on the Lord.) Also, making peace with your past, by trusting in God’s Grace. The dedication is to: The Giver of all Grace, who said: “ Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you, and I will carry you, I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” Isaiah 46:4
