Aging With Grace: Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture
By Susan Hunt and Sharon Betters – PCA
Though Scripture teaches that honor comes with age, today’s culture marginalizes growing older as burdensome and hopeless. Older women often feel like an encumbrance rather than a blessing to their friends and family. In their book published by Crossway, Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt give a biblical response to these anti-aging sentiments, sharing present-day and biblical accounts of women who rediscovered joy in later life, rooted in a gospel big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.
This Leader’s Guide suggests various ways to use Aging with Grace as a group study, supplying a lesson plan and handout for each chapter, ideas for building community, suggestions for an intergenerational study, and access to additional resources.
