Synopsis

Caring for our aging parents—whether we take them into our homes or support them from a distance—is a beautiful opportunity for us to honor them. It can also be an intensely demanding process in which we discover things about them, about ourselves, and about the difficulties of old age that stretch and challenge us.

Addressing the endeavor with grace and clarity, Kathleen Nielson offers five rich scriptural truths to guide our thinking: God sovereignly ordains our aging, calls us to honor our elders, sees the sufferings of age, helps us to the end, and reveals what is to come. Learn how, in light of these truths, we are empowered to respond to our parents and other loved ones with humility, respect, compassion, faith, and hope.

So good! Made me tear up several times. This needs to be required reading for all believers who have elderly loved ones. I’ll be going back to read this again as the years continue.......more
