Aging
Our selection of books both for those who have reached elderly years, and for those who care for them as well. Whether you are on the verge of retirement, or in your latter years and considering how to walk with God in this season of life, or are serving in a caregiver role for such individuals, many of these selections will be of value in showing a biblical perspective.
So, thinning hair, failing eyesight, and arthritic hands may show that time and age has taken its toll: but none of these mean that our work for the Lord is done. Those latter years present remarkable opportunities for increased usefulness, continued learning, careful planning, and even discipleship of the younger that will enrich their lives.

Aging with Grace: Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture (Sharon Betters & Susan Hunt)
Aging with Grace by the Power of the Gospel
Whatever season of life you’re in, God has equipped you to flourish—to live in the transforming power and beauty of his grace. As we age, we can easily lose sight of this message as cultural ideals glorifying youth take center stage.
In this book, Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt offer present-day and biblical examples of women who rediscovered gospel-rooted joy later in their lives. Equipped with a biblical view of aging, Aging with Grace will help you encounter afresh the gospel that “is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.”

The Afternoon of Life (Elyse Fitzpatrick)
The Afternoon of Life is written for women in the middle years of their lives. As we age, we wonder at the many changes occurring in our lives. How do we make the necessary adjustments? How do we handle all of this? Elyse Fitzpatrick shows us how our faith can be at the center of how we respond to these life changes.
With humor, transparency, and biblical wisdom, she helps us see that God’s purpose in bringing us through this time is to glorify himself and sanctify us.
There are questions at the end of each chapter to help women during what may be the most difficult time they will face.
