Synopsis

Christian Book Award - Finalist 2023 (print)!!

Every new year of life is an undiscovered country.

There’s no map through our later years, and the new terrain can bring anxiety and uncertainty, when our souls are more preoccupied with what has been lost than what is to come. While our physical stamina, independence, and career fulfillment decline, each of these losses invites us to grow, inward and upward. God calls us to let go of our need for fulfillment and embrace the gift of fruitfulness so that we might be transformed in this final season of our lives.

In Aging Faithfully, spiritual director Alice Fryling guides our walk with God in a vulnerable time, listening for his voice and responding. As we age, something unusual happens: God renews us from within, when we allow him access. As we accept our responses to the aging process, we grow closer to God and experience his grace.

Are you open to increased hope, joy, and transformation? Would you like to grow in life-giving ways―no matter the circumstances? Do you have the courage to let go of former ways of thinking to receive love and life in new ways?

We all age differently, and God calls each of us to new spiritual birth as we mature. Whether you are approaching the beginning, middle, or end of your senior years, you are invited. Come and be transformed.

It seems that the mantra among those of my age group is “growing old ain’t for sissies.” You might think that those of us who have been at this game of life for awhile mig......more

Goodreads review by Juel

Alice Fryling uses “Aging Faithfully” as a tool to help the aging (we are all aging) and what that could/should look like as we walk with God in our senior years. Fears, health, economics, and more are addressed. As a sixty-six-year-old it was a source of encouragement as I hold God’s hands on this......more

Aging Faithfully Soft and cozy as a winter throw on the couch with a good book. Such a frank, positive, reflective work on aging, which I thought transcended the senior years. I found myself thinking often of younger people in my life who would benefit from her reflections. A wise book. At first, I w......more

Goodreads review by Lynda

I can’t say I read anything new or enlightening in this book. It was pleasant, and it was a good reminder that we continue to change and grow even as we age…but then I knew that. It just didn’t really impact me in any meaningful way. To be honest, I skimmed portions. I have to say, although I think......more
