The church’s ageism

STILL VALUED AND BLESSED
Serving God in our senior years
By Patrick Coghlan
Kevin Mayhew. 142 pages. £12.99
ISBN 978 1 848 679 054

This book is bursting with kindness. Its aim is to ‘highlight misconceptions about old age – from a biblical viewpoint’ and to ‘encourage older people, generally’.

Each chapter deals with a negative emotion – for example, regrets over past failures – continues with relevant Bible passages and suggestions for addressing the situation, and ends with prayer. The chapters are thoughtful and would help believers of any age.
