Publisher's Synopsis
These negative attitudes about aging and older people reflected in the WVS can have a significantly detrimental impact on the physical and mental health of seniors. A 2002 study by psychology researchers in Yale University's department of epidemiology and public health looked at the long-term health consequences of ageism on seniors. The researchers determined that age discrimination actually has the potential power to shorten seniors' lives. This book presents a bold, biblical approach to help you navigate the stormy waters of aging, at a time when many people feel old, tired, discouraged, or may even wonder if they should just end their life. Do not expect the usual sermon of sweetness and light. Be prepared for a piercing examination of the spiritual questions, emotional challenges, and quiet suffering that awaits us when we get older. Additionally, be ready to learn biblical ways to overcome them.
