About this book

A Vision for the Aging Christian is an essential resource for Christian laypersons, clergy, and caregivers. Aging impacts all people, and this work serves as partner on the journey by providing extensive research, profound spiritual insight, and the gift of life experience. In a follow-up to A Vision for the Aging Church, Jim Houston and Michael Parker provide a countercultural guide to aging successfully in a world that often diminishes this gift. In doing so, Houston and Parker demonstrate what it means to cultivate purpose and resilience for Christians as they enter the second half of life. In featuring Parker's groundbreaking AgeReady program, this book offers a comprehensive tool that empowers elders and caregivers in planning for the challenges and joys of aging. Along the way, Houston and Parker share the intersections of their faith with caregiving, bearing witness to the ways in which the presence of God provides respite in the storms of life. Often avoided topics of dementia, caregiving tasks, and the unavoidable difficulties of longer life are addressed with care and compassion. This book encourages aging Christians to finish well and share the gift of blessing with the next generation.
