Description

Growing Old in ChristOne of the hallmarks of contemporary culture is its attitude toward aging and the elderly. Youth and productivity are celebrated in today's society, while the elderly are increasingly marginalized. This not only poses difficulties for old people but is also a loss for the young and middle agers, who could learn much from the elderly, including what it means to grow old (and die) in Christ. Growing Old in Christ presents the first serious theological

One of the hallmarks of contemporary culture is its attitude toward aging and the elderly. Youth and productivity are celebrated in today's society, while the elderly are increasingly marginalized. This not only poses difficulties for old people but is also a loss for the young and middle-agers, who could learn much from the elderly, including what it means to grow old (and die) in Christ.

Growing Old in Christ presents the first serious theological reflection ever on what it means to grow old, particularly in our culture and particularly as a Christian. In a full-orbed discussion of the subject, eighteen first-rate Christian thinkers survey biblical and historical perspectives on aging, look at aging in the modern world, and describe the Christian practice of growing old. Along the way they address many timely issues, including the medicalization of aging, the debate over physician-assisted suicide, and the importance of friendships both among the elderly and between the elderly and the young.

Weighty enough to instruct theologians, ethicists, and professional caregivers yet accessible enough for pastors and general readers, this book will benefit anyone seeking faith-based insight into growing old.

Measure Carefully
Color: Champagne, Size: 12
Great quality, handsome style with a modern color, and fit. Just be aware if your little guy is smaller in stature the arms may be a bit long. Measure carefully.

Great little boy blazer
Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8, Color: Dark Blue, Size: 8
Too adorable and good quality. My picture doesn't do it justice. A nice dark blue with a subtle pattern. Will go well with many outfits. Fits well and not too snug with a shirt or light sweater underneath.

Long sleeves
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 14
Looks so good on my boy. I bought a little big (size 14 for my 11 year old) and turned the sleeves in a couple inches, which requires moving the buttons, but I think he might get a couple years wear as he is probably about to hit a height growth spurt. It doesn't look cheap - the material is thick enough to drape nicely.

Surprising quality, excellent attention to detail, and satisfying shopping experience
Color: Light Grey, Size: 4
This shopping experience was fantastic. First of all, its quality definitely exceeded its price, and the texture is very good Very thoughtful, great attention to detail, absolutely standard suit!!! What I love the most about it is its fabric. It makes me feel at ease when my child wears it, and it won't be uncomfortable to wear. It's very child friendly I have no doubt about the size, its waistband is adjustable, at least for my son, it fits well
