"Far from being a curse, could it be that aging may be one of life's greatest gifts?" So sums up the outlook of Kathryn Grant, mother of four and grandmother of five, about entering the era sometimes called the "mature" years.Grant, who steps into a new phase of life when she and her husband, Worth, return to the U.S. from careers as missionaries in Japan, is determined not to rust out as she throws herself into a whole new stateside career and settles into "seniorhood".From her own experiences, Grant offers a treasurehouse of inspiration and guidance for making the most and the best of the years ahead. With wisdom, faith, and hope, she and co-author Penny Giesbrecht tackle such topics as building friendships with grown children, deepening intimacy and partnership in marriage, caring for one's own aging parents, dealing with personal illness, and finding deliverance from fear.Grant addresses the reality of death, stating that the mature years are times for Christians to decide whether toput feet to their faith or merely give lip-service to it: "We can choose to accept aging as a gift or we can deny life's mortality and live for the moment".Grant, Kathryn is the author of 'Making the Most of the Best of Your Life' with ISBN 9780929292151 and ISBN 0929292154.
