{"product_id":"aging-85632","title":"Aging","description":"We are all aging. We are each a spoke on the great wheel of life, part of the ongoing cycle of growth. In *Aging*, Henri J.M. Nouwen and Walter J. Gaffney share some moving and inspirational thoughts on what aging means (and *can* mean) to all of us, whether we're in our youth, middle age, or later years.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Enhanced by some eighty-five photographs depicting various scenes from life and nature, this book shows how to make the later years a source of hope rather than a time of loneliness -- a way out of darkness into the light. \"Aging,\" the authors write, \"is not a reason for despair, but a basis of hope, not a slow decaying, but a gradual maturing, not a fate to be undergone but a chance to be embraced.\" And they remind us of our responsibility to incorporate the aged into the fabric of our own lives -- helping them become teachers again so they may help *us* repair the fragmented connections between generations.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e *Aging* shows us all how to start fulfilling our lives by giving to others, \"so that when we leave this world, we can be what we have given.\" It is a warm, beautiful, and caring book: a simple reaffirmation of the promise of Him, who by His aging and death brought new life to this world.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562773872927,"sku":"9780385009188","price":42.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780385009188_798782.jpg?v=1769155542","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/aging-85632","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
