Download or read book The Silver Lining A Practical Guide for Christian Grandmothers written by Nancy Wilson and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At last, a practical, Christian guide for grandmothers--and for younger women preparing for that stage of life! Since our culture is in love with immaturity, advice written for "older" women can tend to focus on changes: empty nests, new priorities, grown children getting married, etc. But the Bible tells us to focus on the things that don't change: In all seasons of life, God has good works prepared in advance for us to walk in. And whether you're a young woman, married, unmarried, widowed, middle-aged, or a great-grandma, you never quit exercising that faith in Christ. Grandkids and getting older, dinners and hospitality, mentorship and being an "in-law" all come with their own stretches of bumpy road, but faith and joy (and a little of Nancy Wilson's practical advice) go a long way. Women travelling through this season should be thinking in terms of family legacy--and in terms of eternity--as they seek godly wisdom, great joy, and a silver-haired crown of glory.
Download or read book The Grandparent Vocation written by Richard P. Olson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many grandparents experience a surge of joy with the birth or adoption of a grandchild. For years afterward, time together is eagerly coveted, pictures are treasured and displayed, and multiple gifts along with various kinds of support are gladly provided. Richard Olson, a retired minister, professor of theology, and grandparent many times over, presents the unconditional love of a grandparent as indicative of a vocation, a calling from God. He explores the vocation of grandparent in all of its multiple dimensions of being and doing. Informed by a biblical perspective, the book explores the author’s personal journey of grandparenting and includes conversations with a diverse set of other grandparents. Olson examines biblical examples of grandparenting and suggests that the grandparent vocation has possibilities that often go unnoticed. These include care, enjoyment, and response to issues throughout a grandchild’s growth. He also addresses concerns for our grandchildren’s future world, and how grandparents can engage in mutual conversation about faith, morals, and values in a changing world. In addition, Olson discusses increasingly common relationship types such as grandparents serving as primary caregivers, adults becoming step-grandparents through marriage, interreligious family systems, and grandparents handling children with special needs. The book includes questions for personal or group reflection.

It sounds like sufficiency in all those places where none of us is ever good enough. It sounds like confidence that would make no sense at all except the full weight of God is steadfastly behind it. If God’s grace could talk, it would sound exactly like what this book says in every Scripture on every page.

Download or read book Grandparents in the Bible written by Elmer L. Towns and published by Destiny Image Incorporated. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandparents in the Bible Prolific author, college and seminary professor, and co-founder of Liberty University, Elmer Towns has written a second Teaching Series consisting of six profound books designed to stir your spirit and increase your biblical knowledge. Grandparents in the Bible is the first of six volumes. Books to follow include: The Ten Commandments According to Jesus; 7 Indispensable Words for Effective Prayers; Habits of the Heart; When God Is Silent; What Is Right? Intriguing titles with even more intriguing content. Being a grandparent is one of the most fulfilling experiences in life-fulfilling God's cycle of life placed within every person. When godly grandparents pass along their Christian heritage to another generation, those grandchildren can carry on that legacy, and on and on it goes, each family perpetuating God's plan to grow His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. In this book you will learn how: Jacob was confronted by God; and at the end his life, he passed on a holy heritage to his grandchildren. Naomi and her husband turned their backs on God. But she returned to her godly roots and raised her grandson for God-who became the grandfather of King David. Asa's father, grandfather, and grandmother were evil influences. Yet in spite of an ungodly heritage, Asa led the people back to God. Noah was a man of faith who built a boat and saved the world. Both the positive and negative impacts of Grandfather Noah are seen in this chapter. Lois raised her daughter Eunice to live for God. With very little support, the grandmother and mother trained Timothy to became a godly leader in the early church. Paul produced Timothy who produced a third generation who produced a fourth generation of Christians (2 Timothy 2:2). Designed for maximum reading pleasure as well as study enjoyment, Grandparents in the Bible provides in Part One: in-depth character stories and take-away lessons. Part Two offers 50 Daily Devotions focused on relevant Scriptures and space to write your personal reflections.
