Art of Aging: Preparing and Caring: Preparing for Retirement & Caring for Parents - Paperback

by Howard a. Eyrich (Author)

There are two classes of sandwich generations today. One group is those raising children and caring for parents. The other is the senior generation finding itself caught between helping adult children (often raising or helping to raise grandchildren) and caring for elderly parents. Further, many are contemplating their own retirement and making plans for that season of their lives. This book is designed to be a practical handbook of valuable resources regarding the following questions: -How is God involved in aging?-How do I prepare to grow old?-How do I grow old gracefully?-How do I care for aging parents?-How do I decide when to use a nursing home?-How do I choose a nursing home?-How do I access social help?"This book is proof that an encyclopedia can be interesting, comprehensive and intensely practical, without being enormous in size. Dr. Eyrich has marvelously given us everything we really need to know on the subject of aging from a biblical perspective. The evaluation forms included in the book can lend concrete assistance for those difficult decisions concerning loved ones. This is the most helpful book I've seen on the subject."Dr. Stuart ScottAssoc. Professor of Biblical CounselingSouthern Baptist Theological Seminary
