Book Reviews for your Bookshelf.
Grandparent's Day was in September but we are honouring our Elders!
Hopefully some of these book titles will enrich you and your shelves -
if you find you have a little more time for reading!
- "How to Retire without
Retreating" by J. Godwin. Published by Barbour Press. This is a
practical book for those approaching retirement but not wishing to
retreat from life. The author has plenty of suggestions for preparing
mentally and spiritually for staying productive and aging with grace.
- "Still Making Waves - Creating a
Splash in Midlife and Beyond" by Gracie Malone. Published by Revell. A
light hearted look into the future but also thought provoking and
insightful. You may recognise yourself - with a laugh and perhaps a
sigh of relief! She takes the view that life is a continuous adventure
with a constant need to conquer new "lands" of experience, regardless
of age. Such an attitude must be well grounded in Christ centred
self-esteem.
- "Add Life to your Years - Aging
with Passion and Purpose" by Ted Engstrom. Published by Focus on the
Family. Our lives have purpose at every age. We are valued by God who
planned our birth and life and never too old to serve the Lord nor to
pursue personal growth.
- "Aging is an attitude - Positive
ways to look at getting older." By Cecil Murphy. Published by Living
Ink Books. We don't choose to age but we can choose how to respond to
the process. Explore the purpose of aging. Freed from focus on
productivity we can discover that God has distinctive lessons for us to
learn and to share with the younger generation.
- "Faith Enough to Finish" by Jill
Briscoe. Published by Christian Art. In her early 70's and drawing on
decades of experience in the ministry, she invites us to invest in a
faith that doesn't quit - in spite of disappointments, heartache and
pressures. Using the triumphs and struggles of Jeremiah's life she
encourages us to a faith that will hold on for the last half hour - not
just somehow but triumphantly!
