Publisher's Summary:
Johann Christoph Arnold, admired by such prominent spiritual and inspirational leaders as Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Cardinal Dolan, Pete Seeger, and many more, offers answers to the question: Why shouldn't growing older be rewarding? Arnold, whose books have helped over a million readers through life's challenges, shows us the spiritual riches that age has to offer. Now in his 70s, Arnold finds himself personally facing the challenges of aging with grace. With a foreword by Cardinal Sean O'Malley, Rich in Years covers the significant topics facing the aging, the elderly, and their family and caregivers: accepting changes, combatting loneliness, and continuing on with purpose and hope. Going beyond mere inspiration, Arnold does not shy away from such difficult topics as coping with dementia, the prospect of dying, and enduring with dignity. Through faith and a true spirituality, he says, we can find acceptance and serenity. Johann Christoph Arnold knows, from decades of pastoral experience, what older people and their caregivers can do to make the most of the journey of aging. In this book, he shares stories of people who, in growing older, have found both peace and purpose.
Critic Reviews:
"In simple language, Arnold gives hope-filled insights into the trials of aging for people of all ages. Pastor Arnold's book challenges those rich in years to also remain rich in faith." (Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York)
Members Reviews:
Discover the richness of ageing and community
A clear-eyed and enlightening book for people of any age on an issue of growing importance in our world. Christoph Arnold shares the stories of others who are ârich in yearsâ as well as those who love and care for them, reminding us of the importance of faith, hope and community. Thanks to Christoph and his wife Verena who compiled this book, we can see how facing the fears of death, the changing of oneâs body and mind, the loss of capacities and loved ones can be transformed if we share them. Looking through their eyes and hearts, we can begin to celebrate our journey towards our later years. Growing old need not be a problem. We can learn by their example and transform ageing to a journey of discovery and be a blessing to those we gather around us. Read, enjoy and put their message to use today. You might even feel younger!
Insight and wisdom for both those growing old and their caregivers
This book provides much insight and wisdom for both seniors and their caregivers. Books such as "Rich in Years" and movies such as "Nebraska" are important contributions to the discussion of how best to cope with the problems and challenges of aging in our society. In addition, this book provides a great deal of useful insight for those responsible for caring for senior citizens. As someone who recently cared for his father until his passing, I must say that this book was a great source of comfort and wisdom.
