Aging Starts in Your Mind: You're Only as Old as You Feel
Wolf, Notker
$17.99
Notker Wolf takes a lighthearted, refreshing approach to life that any reader will find delightful! Each of his anecdotes and stories has a nugget of wisdom that will resonate especially with anyone who has struggled against the outward signs of aging. As Wolf says, the soul doesn't age; it's timeless and measures itself by a different standard than the body.
If we focused on the state of our soul--a soul which is resolutely vibrant, cheerful, and full of zest for life--we wouldn't resist aging at all. We would speak of growing fulfillment and joy. A wonderful collection of food for thought on a topic that each of us will face in the second half of life!

    Grandparenting Effect

    Grandparenting Effect
    Okholm, Trevecca
    $27.00
    Whatever life gives you and wherever life takes you, there is always a story. Life and relationships all begin and are sustained in the context of a story. This is not a how-to-do-it-right book as much as it is a book of stories--personal stories from the author, biblical stories, and stories of ordinary grandparents and grandchildren who have been willing to share their own stories with which you may be able to identify and be encouraged in your own adventures of grandparenting. This is a book for everyone that either has biological grandchildren or has the potential to influence the lives of non-biological youth and children in the role of grandparenting. This is also a book for churches to consider while planning for ministry to bring generations together in meaningful interactions, and in doing so, to create space for generations to share their stories and share in God's overarching Story of reconciling the world . . . one story at a time.

    Precious Gift of Old Age: How to Make the Golden Years the Best of Your Life

    Precious Gift of Old Age: How to Make the Golden Years the Best of Your Life
    LaFarge, John
    $14.95

    The fear of growing old is a universal burden. Here's the book you need to ensure that you move into and through old age with grit and grace. Fr. John LaFarge shows you how to conquer any fear of aging -- and how to make your golden years the best years of your life.

    At age 84, Fr. LaFarge was struck by the many advantages and blessings of aging, and he observed that modern men and women have lost touch with the traditional view of old age as the crowning summit of life. Seeing old age instead as a calamity, he says, is what makes aging such a misery for many.

    In these insightful and encouraging pages, Fr. John helps you recognize that old age has its own inherent meaning and that the wisest thing we can do when it creeps up on us is to explore this meaning and adopt a general plan of action to profit from it.

    Specifically, you will learn how to overcome loneli

    The Homestretch

    The Homestretch
    $12.95

    So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. —PSALM 90:12 AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-NINE, Pope St. John Paul II wrote a letter to the “dear elderly people of all languages and cultures” as encouragement in the autumn of their lives. It was also a moment of personal reflection as he faced his imminent arrival to eternity: “from life to life!” Stephen Gabriel has taken the pope’s words and advice to heart. This book is his shared perspective on how to effectively adopt a proper state of heart and mind during the retirement years. He addresses the Lord’s call to both give and receive: give of your time, talent, and welling wisdom, while opening yourself to fully receive the graces the Lord wishes to bestow. Count on Gabriel’s own wisdom to give you both a spiritual and practical means by which you can live these years vibrantly.
