The senior years are a challenging time of life. The transition from work to retirement, increasing health issues, housing changes, and age-related limitations create new challenges. Growing Older Gracefully is a month’s worth of short chapters on how to successfully navigate the senior years. Stories and illustrations bring to life each chapter’s focus. Insightful quotes give clarity to each subject. Scripture references anchor the topics to the wisdom found in the Bible. Growing Older Gracefully gives the reader hope that this stage of life can be a fulfilling journey.David Claassen grew up on an Iowa farm, attended Central College in Pella, Iowa, attended seminary, served as a pastor, and is now retired.
