What’s Age Got To Do With It?

Return to all Resources

When He created the universe, God set in motion times and seasons and the ageing process. Old age was part of His plan from the beginning - that people should ripen to maturity, developing wisdom through a lifetime of experience and relationship with Him, eventually enriching others with the attributes that have been honed over their lifetimes.

But instead of contributing as God intended, many see themselves as ‘useless’ and afraid of being a burden. Ageism has destroyed their self-image and expectations, and they withdraw – and we are all the losers.

In this book, there are accounts of many people living full, purpose-driven lives well into their 90s and even 100s.

For example, you’ll meet the lay preacher who wrote a book at 100 years of age because he couldn’t stand long enough to preach as he used to, and the 95-year old who organised more Christian support for his care home. And many ordinary people who refused to be diminished by ageism – and who are making a difference to the lives of those around them.

Ageism is a set of beliefs that we absorb all our lives, that affect us powerfully but subconsciously. What’s Age Got To Do With It? shows how to live the way God intended from the beginning.
