Living in Life's Evening Martin Girard

Most people dread old age. It's preferable to stay young, appear youthful, and disguise the reality of advancing years. In Living in Life's Evening, author Martin Girard faces old age head on and explores the lives of Bible characters who reached old age. A transcript of ten sermons, Living in Life's Evening examines a variety of Bible characters?including some who experienced traumas in their twilight years. From the patriarchs, through the judges, prophets and kings of the Old Testament, and into the ?senior citizens? of the New Testament, Martin Girard identifies strengths and weaknesses, cites examples to be followed or to be avoided, and applies the lessons of the Word of God in a relevant way. Written from his own middle-age perspective, the author challenges us to be realistic because?whatever our age?we are all shaping our own future. He invites us to meet these Bible characters and to discover from them how we can finish our own lives well.
