  • 소개/요약"Each meditation will have biblical readings, reflections, and meditations by the author. The book has four major divisions: (1) Reaching Ninety, (2) Becoming Oneself at Ninety, (3) Relating to Others at Ninety, and (4) Claiming the Mystery at Ninety. Each division of the book will contain stories of people ninety years and older who have remained vital and spiritually alive. It also focuses on the author's own experience at being ninety years of age. That includes developing a vital selfhood, meaningful relationships to adult children, and caregivers, and deepening the life of the Spirit through prayer and meditation. The reader will learn what physical and spiritual deterioration the "old old" face and how a living faith can transform these losses into gains. In fact, our spiritual potential comes about by not ignoring these challenged but by working through them. The book shows how to discover wellness in years of decline and how these years may be unexpectedly rich and meaningful. The great temptations of being very old are to whine, to recline, or decline. This book offers another possibility: to shine with the Spirit"--
