Steadfast enduring love

"Oh Lord ... I reorganized my wife's cupboards, and she was not pleased." This book of insightful prayers would make a wonderful holiday gift for an older person, family members and nursing home staff. Readers of all ages will respond to the themes of loss, hope, acceptance, love and faith, so keep a copy by your bedside to sample the understated power of poetic writing that cuts to the essence of everyday life. Apt scriptural quotations follow each poem, pointing the way to the solace and lyricism of the Bible and a deepening connection with the divine. Hallman's prayers remind the reader of the infinite small ways that we sustain one another's emotional and physical needs and they convey the ironies and humor, the vulnerabilities and quiet triumphs of daily life, for the aged and the not so aged.

Eventide Comes!

Eventually and if we are blessed, we will experience Life's Eventide. This book makes a wonderful gift for anyone who has lived a long life and who still enjoys reading. The book is easy to read with short powerful and meaningful readings that would be of interest to most older adults. It would also make an excellent ministry tool for use with older adults for those who serve and care for older adults.
