Book Description
A companion to the author's earlier book Designing an Older Adult Ministry (Discipleship Resources, 1999), this book will provide new information and outline ways to develop and strengthen ministries by, with, and for older adults that can, and will, enhance the spiritual growth and well-being of people of all ages. The church is beginning to recognize that there are vast numbers of older people in its membership. It is becoming aware of its indebtedness to them for the leadership, support, service, and faith that has made the church of today possible. The church is uniquely positioned to help older adults respond to the challenges of aging; to see the tremendous potentialities in the lives of older adult for making the church and community better; and to assist older people as they experience new meaning and purpose in their later lives. Chapters include "Why Older-Adult Ministries?"; "Understanding the Aging Process"; "Aging and the Spiritual Journey"; "The New Seniors: Boomers?"; "Intentional Ministry by, with, and for Older Adults"; "Organizing for Intentional Ministry in the Local Church"; "Organizing for Intentional Ministry in the Conference"; "Congregational Care Ministry"; "Additional Ideas for Intentional Ministry"; and "Trends in Aging." Appendixes include a "Facts about Aging" quiz, information on creating and using older adult surveys, and suggested resources for further reading and study.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We must reassess how we are raising our young people because we’ve learned a lot about adolescence as a stage of development since the 1990s. Adolescence is now a much longer period, and children are entering it earlier than ever. #2 The adolescent brain is highly plastic, which means it can change and develop based on the environment it is in. This is both good and bad news. If we provide our adolescents with positive, supportive environments, they will flourish. But if the environments are toxic, they will suffer in powerful and enduring ways. #3 The brain is highly plastic during adolescence, and this period of growth is more sensitive to experience than any other in our lives. The brain’s malleability allows change for the better, but it also allows change for the worse. #4 American adolescents are not doing well. There have been no gains in scores on standardized tests of high-school achievement since the 1970s, and American adolescents continue to underperform teens from many industrialized countries that spend less on schooling.
