For readers who minister with the elderly, this resource will increase their capacity to extend empathy and compassion to individuals and groups of frail elderly people.

Book excerpt: What if God wants you to wait? Most of us know what it’s like to wait for God to change our circumstances. But, whether we’re waiting for physical healing, emotional breakthrough, or better relationships, waiting is something we usually try to avoid. Why? Because waiting is painful and hard. The truth is, it’s also inevitable. In Still Waiting, Ann Swindell explores the depths of why God wants us to wait by chronicling her own compelling story of waiting for healing from an incurable condition. She offers a vibrant retelling of the biblical account of the Bleeding Woman that parallels her story—and yours, too. Let Ann help you see the promise that is hidden in the ache of waiting and the hope of what God can—and will—do as you wait on him.

Download or read book After All These Years written by Rose McDonald and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fear of being set free kept me in my cage. Your fear can set you free, but only if you free them first. After that, fear has no power. When we question what we feel and think, we allow the transparency of those thoughts and emotions to find their way to the surface. We can uncover fears layer by layer to see what lies beyond. Fear is very often irrational and driven by a deeper source, maybe even an old wound. If so, this book was written specifically for you to help you realize that you have greatness on the inside of you. This is a book that will give you peace and can help you find your purpose as you begin to go through a healing process of things that you feared from your past that you allowed to hold you back. It will allow you to see yourself the way God sees you. This book will let you see that God did not abandon you and that he was carrying you through the storm the whole time to allow you to see that the storm doesn't always last. Weeping may endure overnight, but joy cometh in the morning. So today is a new beginning for the rest of your life. Let fear go and tell yourself that no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Thank you, Jesus, for setting me free. Now I can fly.
