Aging is part of God's plan, says author Missy Buchanan-and it's a gift, not punishment.
Buchanan reminds us that aging is a matter of perspective-if we fix our eyes on negative images of growing old, we will miss the treasures right before us. But when we focus on God, we will discover an abiding joy that comes only with a long life.
Aging Faithfully is divided into four weekly themes:
- Accepting the Challenges of Aging
- Finding God's Purpose in Aging
- Overcoming the Temptations of Aging
- Discovering the Joys of Aging
Each week contains daily Bible-based readings, scripture, prayers, and suggestions for practical application or deeper thought. At the back of the book you'll find reflection questions that can be used for group discussion or further individual exploration.
Let each day's reading wash over you. Prepare your heart to discover what it means to age joyfully-and faithfully.
A great resource for Sunday school classes and small groups! Also makes a great gift for homebound persons.

Old age isn't a punishment-it's a gift from God, Missy Buchanan says in Aging Faithfully. She believes it's all a matter of how people choose to view aging. If they focus on negative images of growing old, they will likely miss the treasures right in front of them. But if they fix their eyes on God, they will discover the abiding joy that can accompany a long life. This book is divided into four weeks, each with a particular theme: 1. Accepting the challenges of aging 2. Finding God's purpose in aging 3. Overcoming the temptations of aging 4. Discovering the joy of aging Each daily reading supports the weekly theme with a scripture passage, meditation, prayer, and suggestions for deeper thought or practical application. Sunday of each week offers the reader a time to celebrate the culmination of the week's readings. Reflection questions at the back of the book may be used for small-group discussion or as another opportunity for individuals to explore the topics more fully. Readers who take time to complete these 28 Days of Prayer will discover how to age both joyfully and faithfully. *Aging Faithfully** may be just the resource some persons need to see aging as a positive experience instead of fearing it. UNIQUE SELLING POINT An encouraging 4-week study that helps readers realize that aging is part of God's plan and that with faith, they can discover the abiding joy that comes with long life.
