Making Good Return: Biblical Wisdom on Honoring Aging Parents

Description

Caring for our aging parents—whether we take them into our homes or support them from a distance—is a beautiful opportunity for us to honor them. It can also be an intensely demanding process in which we discover things about them, about ourselves, and about the difficulties of old age that stretch and challenge us.

Addressing the endeavor with grace and clarity, Kathleen Nielson offers five rich scriptural truths to guide our thinking: God sovereignly ordains our aging, calls us to honor our elders, sees the sufferings of age, helps us to the end, and reveals what is to come. Learn how, in light of these truths, we are empowered to respond to our parents and other loved ones with humility, respect, compassion, faith, and hope.

“A happy mixture of biblical instruction and practical wisdom. It is hard to imagine a home that would not benefit from having a copy of this book.”

—D. A. Carson, Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
