Paperback. Zustand: Good. Many of us think to ourselves, I want my life to count. Because God placed eternity in our hearts, we know that someday there will be an accounting. But if we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, what is the purpose of God's judgment? God's judgment will not be a judgment of condemnation, but of reward. In God's economy, God will reward us for taking what is temporary (time, talent, and treasure) to produce what is eternal (the kingdom of God). This life is practice for the life to come. And our best life comes later.…

These writings relate to my situation more since I'm old, flat on my back, and utterly dependent on others.The church has no place for old people.I feel that I have outgrown Jesus -he's for beginners in the spiritual life.Out of Thibault's reflection on the relevance of the gospel to later life comes hope.While secular society offers long-term care insurance, Jesus offers the promise of abundant life in the here and now as well in heaven, Thibault says.Each chapter of 10 Gospel Promises for Later Life addresses a fear about aging and faith and gives an example of its negative effect on a person's daily life. Next you'll find a response, the promise of the gospel, the assurance of God's constant love that offers hope in all circumstances.Identify your own fears (or the fears of a loved one) about aging, and learn from Thibault's sensitive study how to make the most of God's gift of longer life.Questions for personal reflection or group discussion are included at the end of each chapter, making it an ideal book for individuals or classes. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Filled with unexpected good news about growing older, Winter's Graces highlights eleven qualities that ripen with age - including audacious authenticity, creative ingenuity, necessary fierceness, self-transcending generosity, and a growing capacity to savor life and to ride its ups and downs with humor and grace. Decades of research have established that the catastrophic conditions often associated with late life, such as severe dementia and debilitating frailty, are the exception, not the rule. Still, the mistaken idea that aging equals devastating decline persists, causing enormous and unnecessary suffering, especially for women. Drawing on decades of experience as a psychology professor and psychotherapist, Susan Stewart, PhD, weaves together inspiring folk stories that illustrate the graces of winter and recent research that validates them, along with a wealth of user-friendly tools and practices for amplifying these graces and bringing them to life. Written primarily for women over 50 seeking good news about growing older, Winter's Graces offers adults of all ages a compelling vision of aging that celebrates its many gifts, acknowledges its challenges, and reveals how the last season of life can be the most fulfilling of all.…
