I shared and example of one of the devotionals from this book with you earlier this week. I think this is an excellent book, that can be shared with everyone, no matter WHAT they're age!
In Dare to Live, 87-year-old author Elizabeth Van Liere leads readers through a thirty-day journey to a fuller understanding of what it means to "season slowly with a mighty and loving Savior." This journey pursues a life characterized by relevancy not regret, generosity not grumpiness, and compassion to the end. These quick shots of instant inspiration might be just what you need to keep going.
Whether new to the faith or a lifelong follower of Christ, readers old and young will discover the joy of what it means to be transformed into the image of Jesus and used for His purposes to the very end.
About the Author: Elizabeth Van Liere ‘s first story, “The Early Bird,” sent in with numerous mistakes, was published by Child Life in 1961. Since then, with much learning, her inspirational articles, poetry, children’s stories, and devotionals have found homes. Now, some fifty years later, at age 87, she has this, her first book published.
Elizabeth’s husband died in 1991, but she kept busy helping her daughter raise four sons. Others in her family: three sons, ten grandchildren, and fourteen great grandchildren. She loves the chance to visit them all, in Colorado and from California to Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Germany.
Review: Looking for a wonderful Christmas gift for your parents who 'don't need or want anything' and whose walls are full of pictures of the grandkid(s)? Then this is the gift you need to buy! First off, it has LARGE PRINT. Yup, no straining to read without reading glasses for mom and dad (can I get an alleluia?). That alone might make you buy it, BUT there's more!
Elizabeth covers some great topics like grey hair, memory, worship, getting you money's worth, the digital age, bellyaching, rejoicing, Looks being deceiving, cheating on God, neighbors, name calling, directions, being stubborn, and even yard sales! Her stories are funny and to the point, and all of us, no matter our age, will be able to relate to them! Her included prayers are heartfelt and easy to pray. I highly recommend this book for all your gift giving needs to people who are older (aka part 30!), as it is an easy devotional to use. It would also be perfect for bible study classes.
And now for a BONUS!
