If you want to reflect, enjoy, feel peace and thankfulness, go get this book. I think it is the perfect gift for a family member or a friend who is struggling a lot with overwork or anxiety because even when those are not the main topics of the book, those people really need to think about seasons of life and enjoy art and nature. I´m thankful I enjoyed these pages in this very weird time in pandemic life.

If you have read Hannah Anderson before and enjoyed her content as much as I do (I have all her books), you will enjoy this brand new book. It is kind of different from the others but she keeps her style on every page. It was interesting and unexpected to me to have illustrations inside (her husband draw them!). 

She has such a gift with words, I love her written art.

I enjoyed lots of quotes, they spoke to me, here I share just two:

"As much as harvest teaches you to make peace with the unpredictable, it also teaches you to make peace with others and live in mutuality. All so the sower and reaper can rejoice together". 

"The only way to be at peace in this world, then, is to become people inclined toward life. The only way to be at peace with a God of life is to plan for life and expect it to breakthrough. Against all odds, we must bet on life".

Con solo leer la introducción me sentí identificada, mi esposo y yo vivimos justo algo así, como lo que la autora escribe. Fue como recordar todo otra vez y dar gracias a Dios el calendario ha avanzado, de su mano. Disfruté mucho sus palabras melódicas, dolorosas, a veces sangrantes y a veces como un murmullo de dolor en medio de un mundo ruidoso. Si haz sufrido dolor, enfermedad, pérdidas, seguro que vas a encontrar en este libro empatía, comprensión y esperanza. Cuando nadie más escucha es más sencillo volcarse a la oración. Recuerda eso si lo necesitas hoy. Este libro te ayudará a vocalizar esas oraciones que tienes atoradas dentro. 

Just reading the introduction I felt identified, my husband and I live just something like that, like what the author writes. It was like remembering everything again and thanking God for the advanced calendar, from his hand. I really enjoyed his melodic, painful, sometimes bleeding words and sometimes like a murmur of pain in the middle of a noisy world. If you have suffered pain, illness, loss, you will surely find empathy, understanding and hope in this book. When no one else is listening, it is easier to turn to prayer. Remember that if you need it today. This book will help you to vocalize those sentences that you have stuck inside.

Description

How can we trust God in the dark? Framed around a nighttime prayer of Compline, Tish Harrison Warren, author of Liturgy of the Ordinary, explores themes of human vulnerability, suffering, and God's seeming absence. When she navigated a time of doubt and loss, the prayer was grounding for her. She writes that practices of prayer "gave words to my anxiety and grief and allowed me to reencounter the doctrines of the church not as tidy little antidotes for pain, but as a light in darkness, as good news." Where do we find comfort when we lie awake worrying or weeping in the night? This book offers a prayerful and frank approach to the difficulties in our ordinary lives at work, at home, and in a world filled with uncertainty.

Advance Praise

"We pray the church's liturgical prayers at night—Compline—because they give us words when we don't know what to say, and they give us better words to say than we might give. This little book is holy glow in your hands: read it, savor it, and most of all join Tish Harrison Warren in prayer in the quiet of the night. Those who pray well are honest, vulnerable, frustrated, hopeful, learning, and most of all they are listeners—all on display in Prayer in the Night. But don't let the beauty of this book captivate you; let its subject capture you into becoming a person of prayer."

-Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary 

"In the tradition of Anglican poet-theologian memoirists like Elisabeth Elliot and Barbara Brown Taylor, Tish Harrison Warren offers a personal exploration of the evergreen problem of theodicy. And like the prayer from the Book of Common Prayer that it unfolds, this lovely book holds out the light of Christ to us at a time when the shadows in our world seem only to grow longer."

-Wesley Hill, associate professor of New Testament at Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, and author of Spiritual Friendship 

"The prayers of the saints have brought me great comfort over the years, not only giving me language to express my deepest fears and best hopes to God but also reminding me that I'm not alone. Tish Harrison Warren has walked through dark valleys, has clung to Jesus by clinging to these prayers, and now offers up a treasure of hard-won wisdom. Reading this book was like sitting with a friend who keeps watch in the night, reminding me of the patient presence of God."

-Andrew Peterson, singer/songwriter and author of Adorning the Dark 

"Prayer in the Night is another radiant example of wisdom formed in the crucible of suffering. As a priest who finds she can't pray, Tish Harrison Warren finds God in our harrowing vulnerability—and stubbornly holds to believing that God remains good even when life is not. This is a book I'll turn to again and again when life is upended. It's a book I will put into the hands of suffering friends. Prayer in the Night is a book that sings, even as it weeps."

-Jen Pollock Michel, author of Surprised by Paradox 

"Tish has done it again! Good writers, Frederick Buechner once told me, 'pay attention to their lives.' By this standard, Tish Harrison Warren is a very good writer indeed. She tells stories from her own life—sometimes commonplace, sometimes heartbreaking—with great detail, and even greater insight. Using the brilliant, time-tested words found in Compline, a service of evening prayers used before sleep, as her outline, this well-written and deeply honest book will inspire you to begin using these prayers in your own life. It did for me. Reading this book was like having a meaningful conversation with a friend over a crackling fire and having a clear sense that you are the better for having engaged in it. Tish is far too young to be this wise. I am grateful for her life, for her searching faith, and I am very grateful for this special book."

-James Bryan Smith, author of The Good and Beautiful God 

"I know of few writers today who write as pastorally, prophetically, and poetically as Tish Harrison Warren. I know of few writers of any time who write of the deep, dark stuff of life with as much hope, grace, and beauty as you will find in these pages. Prayer in the Night will bring to the darkness in your life a light that will carry you through the days."

-Karen Swallow Prior, author of On Reading Well and Fierce Convictions 

"To be creatures is to face many nights: the darkness of the unknown, the uncertain, the unseen. God, in his grace, does not promise to expel the dark; he promises to be with us in the night. In prose that is both powerful and vulnerable, Tish Harrison Warren invites us to receive Compline as a gift to help us face the dark. Prayer is how we press our hands into the invisible and find the hand of Christ reaching back."

-James K. A. Smith, Calvin University, author of You Are What You Love 

"By the light of an ancient nighttime prayer, this book tenderly and thoroughly explores the beautiful and precarious reality of our shared human life. And it illuminates for us the ultimate Christian question: what it means to love and be loved by a God who made us as vulnerable as we are, and also made himself as vulnerable as we are."

-Andy Crouch, author of Culture Making and Strong and Weak 

"In Prayer in the Night, Tish Harrison Warren once again ingeniously mines the beauty and wonder of the ordinary, especially in what some might take for granted or neglect: night prayer—Compline for those familiar with the Divine Office. She considers well the implications of God's presence, not only in the midst of our nights, wherever and however we find ourselves, but also amid the dark nights of our souls. Through Compline, we are drawn to pray for and remember others in their nights. As Tish notes, 'Christian discipleship is a lifetime of training in how to pay attention to the right things, to notice God's work in our lives and in the world.' And that is exactly what Tish so expertly does and beckons us to do through this book. It is a beautiful offering."

-Marlena Graves, author of The Way Up Is Down: Becoming Yourself by Forgetting Yourself 

"This book is the rare combination of beautiful prose and weighty theological reflection. It paints a picture of a faith that is still there on the other side of trite, easy answers that do not satisfy, a picture of hard-won belief. This is not just a book about prayer; at times the book becomes a prayer in its own right. It is, in the end, a reflection on what it means to be a Christian in the midst of losses large and small. I highly recommend it."

-Esau McCaulley, assistant professor of New Testament at Wheaton College

He leído varios libros para esposas de pastor (que por extrañas y diferentes razones me han regalado a través de los años), y como los he disfrutado, leí este libro también. Lo leí también porque pensé que jme sería útil ya que continuamente estoy en contacto con esposas de Pastor y uno de mis deseos es serles de bendición, apoyo y soporte a su vida. De este libro tomé algunos puntos como referencia para compartir en reuniones mensuales que tenemos o pláticas informales una a una. Encontré muchas citas sabias y párrafos que me hicieron pensar mucho, reflejan los tantos años de experiencia de la autora y su esposo, no es precisamente lo que tenía en mente que encontraría de contenido, pero siempre es interesante escuchar la escuela de vida de personas como ellos, para quedarse con todo lo bueno. Sentí que compartió mucho sobre matrimonio, desde su particular posición. Es inegable el trabajo que cualquier Pastor y su esposa hacen para la iglesia, leer sobre sus percepciones y luchas te ayuda a tener más empatía y orar más intencionalmente por ellas. 

I have read several books for pastor's wives (which for strange and different reasons have been gifted to me over the years), and since I have enjoyed them, I read this book as well. I also read it because I thought it would be useful to me since I am continually in contact with Pastor' wives and one of my wishes is to be a blessing, support, and support in their life. From this book, I took some points as a reference to share in monthly meetings that we have or informal talks one by one. I found many wise quotes and paragraphs that made me think a lot, they reflect the many years of experience of the author and her husband, it is not exactly what I had in mind that I would find content, but it is always interesting to hear the school of life of people like them, to keep all the good stuff. I felt that he shared a lot about marriage, from his particular position. The work that any Pastor and his wife do for the church is undeniable, reading about their perceptions and struggles helps you to have more empathy and pray more intentionally for them.

 
He aquí algunas frases para pensar, para que te des cuenta un poco del estilo y un poco de lo que trata:

• An unsung hero is defined as “one who does great deeds but receives little or no recognition for them.” It’s an accurate description of a pastor’s wife, isn’t it? She pours out her life not only for her family but also, with her husband, for her church. She is not a life-depleting person but wonderfully life-enriching to all around. The world is more alive because she is alive. She is like Christ. Indeed, she is from Christ. (en lo personal no creo que ningún creyente sea "héroe", solo hay uno para mi, pero supongo que esto es una expresión y cuestión cultural)
• You are not always thanked as you deserve to be. So as you open this book, let me be the first to say thank you! Thank you for putting Christ first. Thank you for loving your pastor husband. Thank you for believing, for praying, for serving. We all owe you a great debt of gratitude. (Esta parte tampoco creo que sea muy como una deuda o como tipo pago el agradecimiento, más bien es un honor el agradecer y honrar su labor).
• Men interpret advice as lack of approval. And your husband will get plenty of advice from others— his coworkers, his congregants, his family, even his Twitter followers! He needs to know you are on his side, that he’s not standing alone. Let others try to improve him. In your eyes he needs to be okay. He is most likely all too aware of his own shortcomings anyway.
• “Darling, I need to know there is one person in this messy world who isn’t trying to change me, who really likes me for who I am, even with my imperfections— someone willing to let the Holy Spirit be the main source of change in my life. Would you be willing to be that person for me?”
• you will have the glorious joy of seeing your pastor grow through the power of the Holy Spirit rather than the pain of a nagging wife.
• Marriage makes two people together what they could never be alone.
• embracing the biblical reality that marriage is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. That commitment means a willingness to sometimes be unhappy. And in that unhappiness you must guard your spirit (Malachi 2: 15). Unhappiness is not the worst experience in a marriage— unfaithfulness is.
• your marriage will be only as happy and satisfying and passionate as your relationship with Christ is. In the hurts and disappointments of life, is Jesus enough, or are you looking to something else to save you from your loneliness or sadness or insecurity?
• At times your love may be soured by the inevitable disappointments of living as one flesh with another human being. When that happens, look ahead to your heavenly husband, the lover of your soul, who loves you completely even as you are.
• A woman is most beautiful when she knows she is loved. Your femininity is most radiant, nurturing, gracious, and othercentered when you know you are loved. Let God make you, through his tender and intimate love, the beautiful woman he created you to be.
• Ministry is all about dying— to our own rights, to our desires for prestige or financial gain, to our own selfprotection— and learning to say with Paul, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1: 21).
• let’s be wise in how we live out the deaths of gospel ministry. There is a difference between killing yourself and dying to yourself ! (...) What is killing you these days? What is killing your husband? What drains you, sucking the life out of you? As best you can, choose which situations you will allow to become emergencies. Coach yourself to relax. Choose delays, slow routes, a longer checkout line at the market. Don’t waste your adrenalin. You have a limited amount of emotional and psychological energy. Use it wisely.
• Do not be a loner in ministry. Isolation, as well as fatigue, can contribute to depression. Ask God for another ministry couple with whom you can talk things through. Commit to meeting on a regular basis— weekly, or monthly, or quarterly. Walk in the light together (1 John 1: 7), speaking the truth in love to each other, which “when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love” (Ephesians 4: 16).
• Do what you can, and then give yourself grace when you fail.
• The critics always have opinions about everything, opinions they feel obliged to tell you, sometimes in front of your children. Help your child to see that any opinion should be respectfully listened to and then judged on the basis of Scripture. Model this for them when you or your husband is criticized. Show your children how you can ask yourself, “Would it please God (Ephesians 5: 10) for me to take this criticism to heart, to repent and change? Or is the criticism just an opportunity for this antagonist to vent a personal judgment on a sermon preached or a decision made that he or she disagrees with?” Protect your child from the critics by teaching them how to deal with criticism in a Christlike manner. Model how to listen respectfully, bring it to Jesus, and then decide how to respond. The characters are those few people who don’t understand how to build safe and relaxed relationships with other people. For whatever reason— whether background or upbringing, psychological or emotional difficulties, physical or spiritual afflictions— these are people who don’t always make sense to your child. They may be sincere, Bible-believing, Jesus-loving people who truly don’t process reality in a normal, reasonable way. Your child will need your advocacy here. Your family lives a very public life, which may feel like an invitation to some people to come in too close to your child. Do not allow it. Protect your child from any characters in your congregation by being vigilant to validate your child’s natural distrust— or even fear— of some adults. Teach him that while he must be courteous, he does not need to engage with an adult who makes him feel uncomfortable. He can politely excuse himself and come find you.
• You protect your child by letting him know, through both your words and your actions, that he always comes before church members.
• Don’t worry if your kids aren’t perfect— just try to protect them from those who wish they were!
• Whatever you do, open your heart anew to Christ. Confess any boredom or indifference. Ask, seek, and knock, and he promises to answer and open a way for you to receive good gifts from his heavenly Father (Matthew 7: 7– 11).
• Dear Pastor, Your wife may be struggling spiritually but is afraid to talk to anyone about it— maybe even you. Gently ask her how she is doing way down deep in her soul. Does she feel the loving nearness of her heavenly Father? Most of her friends will assume that she is a spiritual giant because she’s married to you! How can you help her draw nearer to Christ? Can you give her time away from the kids so she can slip away to meet with her Lord? Maybe she would enjoy getting together with you once a week for Bible reading or prayer. Or how about freeing her for a weekend away for spiritual refreshment while you manage the homefront? Care for your wife as you do your f lock. She needs the Lord too. That we may present everyone mature in Christ, Jani

Description

Ministry is hard. And every ministry wife needs—and deserves—encouragement.

A woman marries a man, not his ministry. But all too often her husband’s calling complicates their life together. What if ministry life isn’t what she bargained for? What happens when her children make mistakes? How does she deal with church gossip, or even slander?

As a pastor’s wife of almost fifty years, Jani Ortlund addresses these questions, along with many others, as she offers encouragement and guidance to ministry wives. Jani reminds readers that God works out his delightfully good purposes in and through their sacrifices.

Es un libro ideal para leer y preparar tu corazón para la semana santa. A mi siempre me gustan los libros de PDT, en serio, no he leído uno que no me guste (bueno el de AWE/asombro me gustó pero se me hizo un tanto repetitivo). Entonces mi opinión de que es buen libro está condicionada a que es un autor que me gusta. Está organizado por días entonces es muy conveniente tener esos devocionales a la mano. 

Descripción

A través de este devocional de Cuaresma de 40 días, el autor más vendido Paul David Tripp invita a los lectores a encontrar la libertad del mundo a medida que experimentan al Salvador más plenamente, lo celebran más profundamente y lo siguen más fielmente.

Alabanza anticipada

“Esto es todo lo que esperamos y disfrutamos de Paul Tripp: una nueva entrega diaria de consuelo y esperanza del Evangelio. Esto nos ayudará a todos a profundizar nuestro sentido de aprecio y a maravillarnos de lo que Jesús ha hecho por nosotros ”.

—Sam Allberry, locutor; autor, ¿Por qué le importa a Dios con quién duermo? y 7 mitos sobre la soltería

“Paul Tripp una vez más nos ha llevado más allá de los lugares comunes para sentirse bien y hacia una reflexión enfocada hacia Cristo. A través de la tensión y la ternura, el lamento y la acción de gracias, el tiempo de Cuaresma nos transformará cuando nos lleve a la cruz de Cristo ”.

—Ruth Chou Simons, fundadora, GraceLaced Co .; autor, GraceLaced y Beholding and Becoming; coautor, Fundaciones

“Como tantos otros, me he beneficiado enormemente, y durante años, del ministerio y los escritos de Paul Tripp. Este último trabajo no es una excepción. El viaje a la cruz es un recordatorio precioso, al que vale la pena volver una y otra vez, no solo de los ricos beneficios que recibimos a través de la humillación, muerte y sepultura de Cristo, sino también de su digna invitación a lamentar adecuadamente el mal que hay en el mundo. y el mal que hay dentro de nosotros. La temporada de Cuaresma es una temporada especial de cuarenta días para permitir y capacitar al pueblo de Dios para que haga precisamente eso, y Tripp nos ha proporcionado una hoja de ruta extraordinaria para el viaje. No puedo recomendar este maravilloso recurso lo suficiente ".

—Scott Sauls, pastor principal, Iglesia Presbiteriana de Cristo, Nashville, Tennessee; autor, Jesús fuera de las líneas y una respuesta amable

“No puedo imaginarme ofrecerme como voluntario para emprender un viaje hacia un lugar de ejecución espantosa. ¿Quién podría? Pero ese es el tipo de pasaje que la Cuaresma nos pide todos los años: un viaje de evaluación, examen y bendita humillación que conduce a una nueva vida y una mayor alegría. Entonces, si debemos atravesar este camino, entonces no conozco a nadie a quien prefiera tener como guía turístico que a mi hermano, Paul Tripp. A través de sus décadas de cuidado del alma, su fe transparente y su profundo amor por Dios y su palabra, te encontrarás aprendiendo a detenerte, a escuchar y, en última instancia, a adorar a quien recorrió este camino antes que tú ".

—Elyse Fitzpatrick, coautora de Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women

“Journey to the Cross nos anima a ser honestos acerca de nuestro pecado y abrazar la cruz de Cristo, donde encontramos misericordia, gracia y salvación. Mientras nos demoramos en nuestra necesidad de un Salvador, nos sentimos impulsados ​​a regocijarnos nuevamente en la esperanza que tenemos en Jesús. Espero leer este hermoso devocional de Paul Trip en cada temporada de Cuaresma ”.

—Hunter Beless, fundadora y directora ejecutiva del podcast Journeywomen

“¡Este libro me entendió tan bien y me convenció tanto que casi tuve que dejar de leer después del noveno día! Paul Tripp trae poderosamente muchas verdades a casa en este viaje de reflexiones sobre el amor de Dios en la cruz. Quizás la más relevante es la buena noticia que se necesita desesperadamente de que hay una apropiación piadosa en el duelo por un mundo quebrantado y por nuestros propios corazones quebrantados y pecadores. Podemos lamentarnos sinceramente porque Dios tiene compasión. Podemos llorar con esperanza confiada porque Cristo obra en nuestro duelo para hacernos crecer en el gozo de la victoria sobre el pecado ”.

—J. Alasdair Groves, director ejecutivo, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation; coautor de Untangling Emotions

“Las mayores fiestas son anticipadas y acentuadas por ayunos precedentes. El Adviento espera la Navidad, y cuando llega, es mucho más dulce. Y la Cuaresma, el largo y sinuoso viaje de cuarenta días por el desierto a través del valle de la sombra de la muerte, prepara nuestras almas para las mayores alegrías del año, marcando el día más grande en la historia del mundo hasta ahora: el domingo de resurrección. Durante años, tanto mi esposa como yo hemos sido guiados, fortalecidos y renovados por el ministerio de Paul Tripp, como un instrumento en las manos redentoras de Dios. Es alentador y aleccionador ahora contar con esta ayuda de Tripp para el viaje agridulce a lo largo del camino de la Cuaresma ".

—David Mathis, maestro principal y editor ejecutivo, desiringGod.org; Pastor, Cities Church, Saint Paul, Minnesota; autor, Hábitos de gracia

"Es increíble. Una y otra vez, las profundas reflexiones de Paul Tripp sobre las Escrituras ayudan a llevar la verdad de Dios al aquí y ahora de la vida diaria. Tripp ilumina de manera brillante y elegante por qué la temporada de Cuaresma es tan importante, ya que nos señala el acto de amor más grande de toda la historia. Journey to the Cross es la escritura de Paul Tripp en su máxima expresión; me encantó este libro y a ti también lo harás ".

—Shelby Abbott, autor, DoubtLess and Pressure Points; vocero; ministro del campus

A Great Cloud of Witnesses: A Study of Those Who Lived by Faith (A Study in Hebrews 11) by Trillia J. Newbell - Moody

 A Great Cloud of Witnesses: A Study of Those Who Lived by Faith (A Study in Hebrews 11) by Trillia J. Newbell - Moody 

you can get it here: https://amzn.to/2XyZZap

A very enjoyable study about Hebreus 11 to do with friends or alone. I really enjoy Trillia J. Newbell's content. I´m glad I got this book because after all the issues in 2020 I really needed encouragement to live by faith. The book design is so pretty, it is full color on the inside, a light blue that gave me peace every time I was writing on it. I´m thankful it has enough space to record your answers. It is practical and deep. I want to go through it with some friends in the summer too, looking forward to doing that. I can´t recommend enough Moody bible studies, they are a huge blessing for me and my book clubs. If you get it, go to week five day two... after a year of losses I thought a lot about obituaries and how they shine light into all of the ugliness of a person´s life.  I quote: "At the end of my life, I pray I´m not remembered for all the ways that I´ve failed the Lord, although there are many. Rather, I pray I´m remembered as being faithful". Loved it, was one of my favorite pages in the book. "If your life has been in ruins, God is not done with you. He is not".  It may feel like the end of the road, but God promises to finish the good work He started in you (Phil.1:6). He is not finished. He who calls us to faithfulness will give us the grace to endure. He who calls us faithful is faithful".

Aging with Grace Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture by Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt - Crossway

 Aging with Grace Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture by Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt - Crossway

I absolutely love Susan Hunt, I didn´t know Sharon till this book and you will love her too. To be old is forbidden in our culture, that is why I find this book so relatable. When I was young I used to long for old ladies in my life, but none of them wanted to be or to look "old" I promised myself I was going to give that gift to my generation and me. I want them to look at me and find a woman who thanks God for her age and her looks. This book is full of wisdom and I wish many women would be able to read it and be encouraged by this message. It gives me hope to know that this resource is out there to bless many. I really like Crossway and their content. I wish I could meet these ladies and give them a great hug I kind of need it so much. I´ve read all of Susan Hunt´s books and I couldn´t miss this one. My prayer is to be at least a little bit like these wise ladies when I get older.

#AgingwithGrace

Description

Aging with Grace by the Power of the Gospel

Whatever season of life you’re in, God has equipped you to flourish—to live in the transforming power and beauty of his grace. As we age, we can easily lose sight of this message as cultural ideals glorifying youth take center stage.

In this book, Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt offer present-day and biblical examples of women who rediscovered gospel-rooted joy later in their lives. Equipped with a biblical view of aging, Aging with Grace will help you encounter afresh the gospel that “is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.”

Advance Praise

“My childhood dream was to one day become a ‘godly old lady.’ At the time, that goal didn’t seem particularly daunting. Now that I’m in my sixties, it sometimes feels like climbing Mount Everest. Always a few steps ahead of me, Susan Hunt has encouraged and inspired me to press on in my journey. She has also been a spiritual ‘grandmother’ to the True Woman ministry since it launched. She has given us all a vision of flourishing in old age, for the glory of God and the good of his people. In this book, Susan and Sharon Betters have teamed together to provide perspective, wisdom, and hope for women coming behind them. They call us to keep our eyes on Christ—the prize—and to persevere to the summit, dependent on his grace every step of the way.”

—Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, author; Founder, Revive Our Hearts and True Woman

“Some women seem to grow increasingly lovely with every year that passes. I want to learn from women who display that type of beauty and grace. That’s why I’m so thankful for Aging with Grace. This book is a wealth of wisdom for women of all ages to learn from God’s word the secret of aging with grace—I highly recommend it!”

—Melissa B. Kruger, Director of Women’s Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition; author, Growing Together: Taking Mentoring beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests

“As I embark on my seventh decade, I find myself saying things about ‘finishing well,’ while at the same time moaning about the aches and trials that are my unbidden companions. But one of the gifts I love most are the friends who are walking with me. Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt are two of those friends. Let me encourage you to join them as they encourage you to walk through the final steps of your journey with faith and joy. They have encouraged me.”

—Elyse Fitzpatrick, coauthor, Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women

“As a woman on the cusp of her forties, I’ve harbored a secret fear of aging. More than the changes of my physical appearance, I’ve feared becoming obsolete as I age. I read Aging with Grace with a lot of tears and thankfulness as my fears were turned to praise. Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt address the realities of aging with biblical encouragement to fix our gaze on our timeless God who will finish the work he started in us. Because God is faithful, our growth in Christ will continue as we age. This is a book I will return to over and over again.”

—Glenna Marshall, author, The Promise Is His Presence and Everyday Faithfulness

“Seasoned with wisdom, Aging with Grace offers us the biblical recipe for a life marked by hoping in Christ. Through examples of women in the Bible as well as women in the church today, Susan Hunt and Sharon Betters guide us to reflect on God’s faithfulness to his people throughout all of redemptive history, reminding us that it’s never too late to sink our roots in the soil of God’s word for his glory and our good.”

—Hunter Beless, Founder and Executive Director, Journeywomen podcast

“As I read the accounts of the godly women in this book, I was confronted with thoughts about flourishing in aging that I had not previously considered. I felt guided by godly compassion and wise instruction, rather than by the frustrations of past significance or selfish pay-attention-to-me-nowness. This book is truly about flourishing in the years of God’s maturing grace.”

—Bryan Chapell, Pastor Emeritus, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, Illinois

“Through their insightful observations on Scripture, telling the stories of godly women in the Bible, and sharing contemporary testimonies, the authors show us how to flourish in our experiences with God and impact on others. Reading Aging with Grace will not only bless you but will also allow you to bless others.”

—John Dunlop, MD, Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, Yale School of Medicine; author, Finishing Well to the Glory of God

“Aging with Grace is a remarkably authentic, heartwarming, and scriptural balm for the soul in the context of growing older. Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt consider the wisdom of godly biblical women in light of their own and other’s personal experiences, thereby guiding readers on how to age with grace in an anti-aging culture. Gospel hope radiates from each page, so read and be blessed.”

—Peter A. Lillback, President, Westminster Theological Seminary

“Susan Hunt and Sharon Betters have written a book that is simultaneously timeless and timely. Practical and inspirational, warmly personal and profoundly biblical, apt for young and old alike, Aging with Grace needs to go right to the top of your must-read nightstand stack.”

—George Grant, Pastor, Parish Presbyterian Church, Franklin, Tennessee

“Reading this book made me feel like my two older sisters, walking toward Jesus in deep conversation, turned and saw me trying to find my own way, looked at each other, then ran back to grab my hands, laugh with joy, and resume with me between them. You are never too young or too old to glean solid, biblical, and practical wisdom from Aging with Grace.”

—Karen Grant, wife of George Grant, pastor, Parish Presbyterian Church, Franklin, Tennessee

“In a society that seems to value only youth and viability, Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt reach deep into Scripture to illustrate God’s value on his children as they age and mature. They help calm the fears of aging while pointing to often hidden treasures, perspectives, and the depth of God’s presence and faithfulness as we age.”
