Most people dread old age. ItÕs preferable to stay young, appear youthful, and disguise the reality of advancing years. In Living in LifeÕs Evening, author Martin Girard faces old age head on and explores the lives of Bible characters who reached old age. A transcript of ten sermons, Living in LifeÕs Evening examines a variety of Bible charactersÑincluding some who experienced traumas in their twilight years. From the patriarchs, through the judges, prophets and kings of the Old Testament, and into the Òsenior citizensÓ of the New Testament, Martin Girard identifies strengths and weaknesses, cites examples to be followed or to be avoided, and applies the lessons of the Word of God in a relevant way. Written from his own middle-age perspective, the author challenges us to be realistic becauseÑwhatever our ageÑwe are all shaping our own future. He invites us to meet these Bible characters and to discover from them how we can finish our own lives well.
