It’s a book that’s long been needed: deeply spiritual but never sentimental or agenda-driven.” —The Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, author, The Wisdom Way of Knowing, Mystical Hope and Love Is Stronger Than Death “Takes unflinching aim at some potentially scary territory—the unspoken fears, challenges and joys of aging…. Will provide robust guidance for the later years and be a source of compassion in dealing with the elders in your life.” —J. David Forbes, MD, president, American Holistic Medical Association “With engaging, witty and refreshingly unvarnished prose … guides us through the psycho-physical-spiritual challenges of life’s later years…. A profoundly wise book that satisfies both mind and heart.” —Marjorie J. Thompson, pastor; author, Soul Feast: An Invitation to the Christian Spiritual Life “Candid, clear and full of surprising wisdom about the things we dread or deny. I’d buy it for any friend over fifty.” —Marjory Zoet Bankson, author, Creative Aging: Rethinking Retirement and Non-Retirement in a Changing World “Thoughtful, insightful, helpful and timely—exactly what I expect from Linda Douty.”
