Synopsis

This book seeks to alert the reader to the explosion of older adults that is fast hitting our world and the opportunities as well as challenges that this presents for the Christian community. The reader will be challenged to let go of many old stereotypes regarding aging and embrace a new paradigm that sees older adults as active, healthy and capable of making significant contributions.   This book will:  Debunk the myths of aging that keep us from fully embracing the potential of people in lifes second half,   Explain who the aging Boomer is so that people can effectively minister with them, and Suggest how to re-invent ministry with older adults with a focus on unleashing them to serve and make an impact on churches and congregations.
