Aging teaches me…
1. That the true purpose of maturation is gaining closer communion with God
2. That as my body diminishes, my spirit advances
3. To live in a new abundance of inner light
4. To light the path to sacred vitality
5. To tend the garden of my soul
6. To pursue personal and spiritual transformation
7. To embrace my True Self
8. To step beyond the “fake” of the world
9. The paradox of living: that loss is my primary means for growth
10.To become a spiritual elder, not ‘an elderly”

From the back cover of the book:
A New Vision of Parish Ministry for Maturing Adults…
“Dr. Johnson believes that the maturing years are given to us as a spiritual crown of glory. It is in these years of glory, when and where the Holy Spirit guides us to clear our spiritual vision, thereby promoting a progressively expansive view of God’s eternal truth, beauty and goodness. We have yet to appreciate the mammoth growth potential and benefits resident in the “golden years.” We have yet to firmly and frontally address this important ministerial and evangelizing time with intentionally. So much has been written about senior adult faith formation, but in practice we seem hardly out-of-the-gate.”
