Older adults struggle with chronic pain and diminished physical abilities. They contend with losses that pile up like the dry bones in the prophet Ezekiel's vision—the loss of loved ones and friends, the loss of their home and belongings, the loss of independence, and the loss of purpose. In a culture that values youth more than age, older adults often feel forgotten and without purpose.</p> <p>Each chapter of <em>From Dry Bones to Living Hope</em> opens with an intimate, prayerful lament to God from the perspective of the older adult who longs for spiritual renewal and purpose. The authentic voice of lament establishes credibility with older readers who yearn for others to empathize with their struggles. The second part of each chapter, "Cultivating Hope," guides them to God's perspective on aging and specific actions they can take that lead to hope and joy.</p>Fri, 20 May 2022 15:39:41 GMThttps://tur-ciderdev-es.onadvantagecs.com:443/product/from-dry-bones-to-living-hope-2https://tur-ciderdev-es.onadvantagecs.com:443/product/la-oracion-de-una-viuda<p>Las crisis de la vida amenazan nuestra estabilidad espiritual.</p> <p>La pérdida de un ser querido -se espere o no su muerte- es siempre traumática.

She credited hymns for helping her, a black woman born in 1924, live faithfully through the turbulent times of the Great Depression, segregation, the civil rights struggle, and the loneliness and constant moves that came with being married to a U.S. Air Force officer. </p> <p>Robin writes, "Folks are drawn to Mom's humility, wisdom, and spirituality.
