The Other Side of Life

Drawing on biblical examples and his 60-plus years of pastoral experience, Rev. Biebel helps older (and younger) adults understand God's view of aging and the rich life available to everyone who seeks a deeper relationship with God as they age. Rev. Biebel explains how to: Identify God's ongoing plan for your life; Rely on faith to manage the anxieties of aging; Form positive, supportive relationships; Cultivate patience; Cope with new technologies; Develop spiritual integrity; Understand the effects of dementia; Develop a Christ-centered perspective of aging. "Books about religion and aging have grown in popularity as the 'greying of America' impacts church congregations and clergy," says gerontologist Sharon V. King, PhD. "Few approach the topic of the role of religion in later life as meaningfully as The Other Side of Life."
