Editorial Reviews

Review

"Karen has hit upon the things we least enjoy about getting older, but she enables us to see God's hand in our 'maturity.' "
-- Kathy Collard Miller, author of Why Do I Put So Much Pressure on Myself? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

While growing older certainly has plusses, its downside poses big challenges. Physical decline, loss of spouses, relatives and friends, memory lapses, feelings of inadequacy or uselessness-such things can give us those "senior moments" that sidetrack us with fear and worry. This book brings encouragement to people in their golden years, prompting them to reflect, laugh, play and to take both burdens and joys to the Lord who cares for them.

Each of the 90 short pieces contains a note to God about a topic of special interest to seniors, a word from God in Scripture, a prayer and a place for the reader to write her or his note to God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful! Humorous! Touching!, September 5, 2002
By "maxdiana2" (Meridian, ID USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Help, Lord! I'm Having a Senior Moment: Notes to God on Growing Older (Paperback)
Who would have thought having those forgetful, sometimes embarrassing, senior moments could be so much fun--at least when they happen to someone else. I thoroughly enjoyed Karen O'Connor's depiction of the delightful roller coaster ride we take in the process of becoming "blessed with many years." Her humorous and sometimes touching stories provide models of how we can greet our advancing years with a philosophical attitude and a wry smile. Her comments and prayers at the end of each story help us put it all into perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, July 23, 2002
By Eva Shaw (Carlsbad, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Help, Lord! I'm Having a Senior Moment: Notes to God on Growing Older (Paperback)
Karen O'Connor's new book is a gem. I found myself laughing out loud, nodding and then relaying her quips and common sense with friends and family. I've always enjoyed Ms. O'Connor's other books, but this is the best yet. It's also a book to share. Buy one for yourself and give 'em as presents "just because." That's what I'm going to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Forget There's Laughter, July 1, 2002
By Jeanne Zornes (Wenatchee, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Help, Lord! I'm Having a Senior Moment: Notes to God on Growing Older (Paperback)
When I read Karen O'Connor's humorous devotional on aging,
I thought about Ecclesiastes 12 and its description of the
body shutting down. That chapter can get depressing, but
Karen has the knack of putting a smile on the inevitable
process of growing old. Those of us who've had to retrace
our steps to remember why we went into the next room have
an understanding comrade in Karen, who helps us see ourselves
as God sees us--with compassion and love. If you know somebody
hitting one of those big "O" birthdays, don't give them black
balloons or a package of prunes. Give them this book.
