Synopsis "No Wrinkles on the Soul: A Book of Readings for Older Adults"
From ""No Use Denying It"" to ""Keeping the Spirit Renewed,"" Dick Morgan here offers six themes right on target for older adults. The sixty-two meditations in No Wrinkles on the Soul are ideal for individual or small-group devotions. Each meditation presents a suggested Scripture reading, a printed Bible verse, and a reading for reflection. These meditations relate honestly to the variety of situations in which older adults may find themselves living--in their own home, in a retirement center, in a nursing home, or in the home of a relative. ""These short meditations lend themselves nicely to the still busy lifestyle of many aging persons. However we use them, they can stir up the gift of God within us. As we struggle with the new problems of the graying of the West, we need to be enabled to live fully by the spiritual wisdom of our heritage."" -Eugene C. Bianchi, Author, Aging as a Spiritual Journey ""From 'No Use Denying It' to 'Keeping the Spirit Renewed, ' Richard Morgan here offers sixty-two meditations in No Wrinkles on the Soul. Each meditation presents a suggested scripture reading, a printed Bible verse, and a reading for reflection. In my pastoral care of older adults I have found that they need personal and biblical stories that encourage, give hope and comfort. No Wrinkle on the Soul is such a meditation that offers genuine spiritual wisdom."" -Bruce Mounts, Presbyterian Pastor Richard L. Morgan is a retired Presbyterian minister and active writer, living in a retirement community near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
