Description
Reviews
David Stevens, M.D. "Every day we walk the path of life, getting older. Aging, Death, and the Quest for Immortality is an invaluable road map for wherever you are on life's journey. With gripping stories, practical tips, and critical analysis, it provides an essential traveling companion. Don't go home without it!" First Things "This collection features physicians, ethicists, theologians, and educators, but its concerns are more practical than theoretical, with a focus on spiritual life, pastoral issues, dealing with senile dementia, and palliative care. . . An excellent resource for pastors and those in ministry to the elderly and families."
