Regenerating Generations: An Adventure in Vital Living

This is a wake up call. We are facing an age wave of tsunami proportions. Approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers have been turning sixty-five each day since 2011, and this trend will continue through 2029. It is time for church leaders to envision, plan, and implement significant experiences for older adults and those preparing for retirement and beyond. Lifelong teachers, leaders, and ministers in the field of Older Adult Ministries, Evelyn Johnson and Alan Forsman, take us through an overview of biblical and historical references to old age, as well as current trends in population projections. A detailed social, psychological, emotional, and practical look at the lives and transitions of older adults sets the stage. Johnson and Forsman will provide a framework for holistic ministry by, with, and for older adults, as well as an in depth planning process for individuals and the church. Filled with VITAL LIFE stories of those who challenge the myths and stereotypes of aging by staying engaged in purposeful living, as well as studies of successful examples of existing and emerging ministries in this field, we can all feel inspired and motivated to get engaged in this process of preparing for our new future. Resources and references are provided throughout this interactive text filled with QR-coding to downloadable tools. Let's wake up, join these pioneers, and go confidently into the future This description may be from another edition of this product.
