Senior Moments with the Bible presents brief daily devotionals based on scripture for senior adults whose life pace has slowed but who still enjoy hearing or reading lessons from the Bible. Also, families, ministers, and caregivers will find the book helpful in ministering to their senior loved ones. The book emphasizes the special role seniors now have in God's service and encourages them to rely each day upon God's presence and his provision for their needs.
A year-long devotional book written for a senior audience. Each month focuses on one or two themes. For example, January has the following daily readings:
January 1 Living One Day at a Time January 2 The Habit of Trusting God January 3 The Biblical Path to Happiness January 4 Establish High Priorities January 5 The Importance of One Person January 6 To God Every Person Has Value January 7 God Hears Our Prayers January 8 Seeking to Do God’s Will January 9 Praying in the Name of Jesus January 10 Living by Faith January 11 Live for Today January 12 Created Again in Christ January 13 Keep on Doing Good January 14 Good Works Glorify God January 15 The Little Person in the Eye of God January 16 The Beatitudes: God’s Value System January 17 The Beatitudes: God Comforts January 18 The Beatitudes: Blessed are the Meek January 19 The Salt of the Earth January 20 Singing the Lord’s Song January 21 Following the Shepherd January 22 Being Light in a Dark World January 23 Loving Others January 24 Keeping Our Eyes on Christ January 25 Trusting in God for Guidance January 26 Sing a New Song unto the Lord January 27 Worship the Lord Today January 28 Consider the Lilies January 29 Faith Abides January 30 Hope Abides January 31 Love is Forever
Each entry consists of a brief quote from the scriptures and a paragraph or two of devotional thoughts.
Though the book is titled “Senior Moments”, I see nothing in the devotions themselves that make them particularly designed for seniors. Re-titling the book “Feminine Moments” could just as easily make the book a welcome addition to a woman’s busy schedule. Titles could re-aim the book toward a masculine audience, or a college student. Having said that, there is nothing in the book that would suggest that it would not be appreciated by seniors or other adults in our churches. ______________ This review is based on a free electronic copy provided by the publisher for the purpose of creating this review.
