Elders Rising

Christian Living

“This book, a marvelous resource for congregational study groups, is based on Martinson’s deep, respectful listening to the complex stories of elders who are far from perfect, yet whose narratives display faith, playfulness, and spirit. Against the ‘me-first’ emphasis of many self-help books, Martinson believes that elders can ‘rise’ and be strengthened, not only for their own benefit, but as powerful contributors to the intergenerational work of making the world a more hospitable, safe, and creative place.”
