A little book that will charm you and change your view of Aging
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I can't recommend this special book any more highly. Life altering words with powerful imagery. This book really changed my outlook on aging and puts you on the "inside" of what this process is like, especially for someone that is already in his or her later years. I've purchased several more copies to give away.
Spiritual View of Aging

Found this to be a positive, spiritual approach to aging. Better than most I've read.
a powerful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I agree with the previous reviewer that this book is a celebration of aging, but I'd also call attention to how incisive it is about aging as suffering in our society: and how convincing I found it on replacing despair with quiet exultation. Henri Nouwen always moves me with the deep simplicity of his writing. And the beautiful photographs intervene effectively in the text.

A celebration of aging in words and photographs. We are all aging. This book is for all of us. It is an inspirational look at how we can start wherever we are in life to make our own aging meaningful.
