Engaging the Gifts of Growing Older

Contains over 100 short, pithy, insightful quotes and reflections--one per page, in large print, with room to write reactions--this gift book explores what spiritually engaged elders have become and can yet become, divided into five themes: Memory, Intimacy, Diminishment, Gratitude, and Acceptance. The black-and-white line drawings accompanying each chapter are by Connie Meyer--septuagenarian artist, mother, grandmother, and retired teacher. A thought-provoking, down-to-Earth book for those of all religious and philosophical beliefs, no matter how many birthdays we have already celebrated.
