false 2935683 1 <div>Not only accepting but celebrating getting old, this inspirational and illuminating work looks at the many facets of the aging process, from purposes and challenges to struggles and surprises. Central throughout is a call to cherish the blessing of aging as a natural part of life that is active, productive, and deeply rewarding. Perhaps the most important dimension revealed lies in the awareness that there is a purpose to aging and intention built into every stage of life. Chittister reflects on many key issues, including the temptation towards isolation, the need to stay involved, the importance of health and well-being, what happens when old relationships end or shift, the fear of tomorrow, and the mystery of forever. Readers are encouraged to surmount their fears of getting older and find beauty in aging well.</div> 2965070 1 5 2008 The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully total:28|5:7|4:14|3:5|2:2|1:0| 28 110 60 17 4 1 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 10:53:35 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 12:30:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 08:10:05 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 07:40:22 -0800 2009 All Passion Spent when I was midway through and afterward I kept picturing Wendy Hiller’s wry, sage face as I read about aging well.
