Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. From the bestselling author of Forever Fifty comes a new collection of poems that tickle, console, and offer the pleasure of instant recognition -- the perfect book for any woman anywhere in the vicinity of sixty.Judith Viorst's decade books of verse -- including It's Hard to Be Hip Over Thirty, How Did I Get to Be Forty, and Forever Fifty -- have delighted millions of readers worldwide who relish her wit, warmth, and wisdom. Now here she is with Suddenly Sixty, a funny and touching book that speaks directly to the sixty-ish woman, inviting her to laugh about, sigh over, and come to hopeful terms with the complex issues of this decade of life.Among the poems in this charmingly illustrated collection are those exploring the joys -- and strains -- of children and grandchildren, and the intimacy of old friends who've known each other so long/We knew each other back when we were virgins. There are poems that tip their hat to mortality, wrestle with a husband's retirement -- He's coming with me when I shop at the supermarket/So I won't have to shop alone. I like alone. -- and acknowledge the fact that at this stage of life we'd give up a night of wild rapture with Denzel Washington for a nice report on my next bone density test. Offering plenty of laughs, a few tears, and cover-to-cover truths, these are poems for everyone who would rather say never say die than enough is enough. Every woman who has reached this decade will -- rueful and smiling -- find herself in the pages of this book. Laurie Rosenwald (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Is there any good news in the Good News for older adults?We're living longer. In fact, people 85 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population. Life expectancy is increasing in all developed countries in the world.With the gift of longer life, though, comes pain. The worst physical ailments and frailties may seem inconsequential when compared to the feelings of emotional and spiritual abandonment that many elders report today: I can't relate to Jesus' message any longer. The gospel calls for action. I can't do what Christ wants me to do, and I feel guilty.The Old Testament comforts me more than the New Testament. These writings relate to my situation more since I'm old, flat on my back, and utterly dependent on others.The church has no place for old people.I feel that I have outgrown Jesus -he's for beginners in the spiritual life.Out of Thibault's reflection on the relevance of the gospel to later life comes hope.While secular society offers long-term care insurance, Jesus offers the promise of abundant life in the here and now as well in heaven, Thibault says.Each chapter of 10 Gospel Promises for Later Life addresses a fear about aging and faith and gives an example of its negative effect on a person's daily life. Next you'll find a response, the promise of the gospel, the assurance of God's constant love that offers hope in all circumstances.Identify your own fears (or the fears of a loved one) about aging, and learn from Thibault's sensitive study how to make the most of God's gift of longer life.Questions for personal reflection or group discussion are included at the end of each chapter, making it an ideal book for individuals or classes. …
