Peter J. Dyck has spent most of his life with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a church service agency. He fines Christian service as living for others, in any role that truly benefits others, whether at home or abroad.

In these meditations for all ages, Dyck shares stories, insights from his wealth of experience, helping refugees, building peace, and challenging audiences. He especially promotes intergenerational family life. P>Will all our efforts, he says, we eventually learn that our greatest satisfaction comes from relationships with other people. We often fail and need forgiveness. With Paul, we confess that we see only "in a mirror, dimly," and "know only in part." We look forward to knowing fully, when we see our Lord "face to face." Meanwhile, the greatest grace is love.

Unfortunately, the church is following these same societal trends toward greater age segregation. The church is the loser when the generations do not mix. With her usual bite and fiery way of telling it like it is, Katie Funk Wiebe helps all ages to rethink the way we define each other and to change attitudes in order to bring all generations closer together. In so doing, Wiebe positions us to become the spiritual family of God.

What happens when that diary is no longer readable? When events and people are locked in a time without a retrievable mecahnism to unlock them?

Artist Lorlie Barkman of Wimmipeg, Manitoba has provided a loving and insightful glimpse into the journey he and his family took as their father traveled the lonely road into memory loss.

A journey, portrayed through pictures and story, poignant with joy, sorrow, laughter and a sense of well being based on a foundation of a meritorious past.

Katie Funk Wiebe says a resounding no to both attitudes. In this book, destined to become a classic, she talks about the inner journey of aging. Wiebe speaks honestly, faithfully, and movingly about the transition to retirement and how it compares with life's earlier "border crossings."

Anyone struggling through the pain and promise of a new stage in life will find a kindred spirit.

Now this second edition provides a new foreword and preface, revised original chapters, and two new and poignant ones telling of Wiebe's journey through the death of her daughter and of recent reflections on and experiences of being "old."
