Still Praying After All These Years: Meditations For Later Life

People in their later years face many changes, many that are not of their own choosing. Still Praying After All These Years offers 52 reassuring meditations that reassure readers that their lives still have meaning and that aging holds opportunities for spiritual growth. Each meditation begins with a concern, question, or insight expressed in the author's conversations with people ages 75-100. The author provides psychological and theological insights, welcoming doubt, mystery, and the emotions that accompany aging. She invites readers to practice their faith by reflecting on some aspect of their life or undertaking an action. A brief prayer ends each meditation.
