Good News for us older folks

Jane Thibault finds important answers in the Gospels for older adults who may wonder if the faith of their youth will be enough to sustain them in their later years. She writes clearly in an easy to understand style, yet conveys deep meaning with her words. I would, without reservation, recommend this book for any Christian, especially anyone retirement age or older.

Be not afraid - What Scripture promises the eldery.

Dr. Thibault, from her life work with gerontology identifies the 10 fears that older people face. Then in a most compassionate and personal way she breaks open the Word of God and shows how Jesus the Christ holds out a promise that overcomes each of those fears. Thibault includes vignettes of each of the fears and then scriptual references as well as discussion for each of the promises. There are also reflection questions for each. This book can be read alone, or as we do in our Catholic Elder Community, used in a group setting.
