Product Description

Speaker and author Karen O’Connor urges her post–fifty friends to “laugh and love all the way home to the Father’s house.” With humor and wisdom, Karen shares personal and gathered stories about the blessings of surviving and surpassing middle–age.

Gettin’ Old Ain’t for Wimps overflows with candor and helps the boomin’ baby boomer market celebrate with:

funny stories of the antics and adventures of getting older
“conversations with God” for a deeper prayer life
hopeful words for the tough times

For those who have already traded in their wimp status for a more courageous existence or those still wondering about the future, this delightful read affirms that the latter decades are filled with God’s promises and joys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Growing Older Takes Courage---And Laughter , September 9, 2004

By	June L. Varnum "book girl" (Loyalton, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Getting older takes courage, inspiration, faith and the gift of laughter..at ourselves. I'm in my 70's, so I know some of the aging process. The ability to laugh at ourselves, to not take us too seriously is a tremendous help. I've read that laughter is good medicine; a healing factor.
The true stories in Karen O'connor's book, Gettin' Old Ain't for Wimps, shows how older people can laugh at the silliness in their lives; the mishaps encountered due to a bit of forgetfulnes or dashing about too hurriedly. Getting older isn't always fun. Karen O'Connor shares brief, inspirational stories of real people living, loving and laughing in their aging years.
This book is a great gift for anyone approaching their "older" years. It's fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Wimpiness to Wonder!, September 6, 2004

By	Lynn D. Morrissey "Lynn D. Morrissey" (St. Louis, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews

Getting older takes courage, and talented author Karen O'Connor understands that. In Getting Old Ain't for Wimps, she helps seniors save face and age with grace. O'Connor's real-life
stories are pure gold and liberally laced with wit and wisdom, whimsy and warmth. With Karen's signature twinkle-in-her-eye mischievousness, she proves that wimps need not limp along into their golden years. She helps you transform senior wimpiness into spirited wonder that appreciates life as a great adventure. Sprint with O'Connor into your senior years with a spring in your step and great joy in your heart. Discover that getting older is really much better than it's been cracked up to be!
-Lynn D. Morrissey, author of Love Letters to God and AWSA/CLASS speaker

5.0 out of 5 stars hilarious stories of old age for all ages, February 12, 2007

By	L. Watkinson (Dereham, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read this book after reading "Getting Old Still Ain't for Wimps" which I found very hilarious and I could see some things through the true stories of things I sometimes do and I'm 27.
After reading " getting Old Still Ain't for Wimps" I thought I'd better get the prequel " Getting Old Ain't for Wimps".
What can I say
Getting Old Ain't for Wimps appeals to all ages. It is both Funny and Thought provoking. It is a must for Christians and Non - Christians alike.
