Review:

We have no choice in growing old, but we can choose how we live our later years. Rich Bimler invites us to experience growing older as a spiritual passage. He engages the reader with spiritual insights and a positive, hopeful attitude. He is a master storyteller showing us how to make sense of the aging experience and how to live with courage and meaning. This gem of a book will delight, encourage, and inspire all readers.

In this delightful book, Rich Bimler observes that we have our work cut out for us as we endeavor to age gracefully and joyfully, all the while proclaiming to one another that Jesus Christ is Lord of all. True enough. But, our task will be made considerably easier if we follow the generous advice he shares, with his characteristic warmth and levity, about our divinely-appointed tasks to be encouragers, affirmers, and cheerleaders tasks I have witnessed Dr. Bimler consistently model, even in his old age.
