Editorial Reviews
Review
In Kim Henry’s warm and gracious style, she comes alongside those of us who may think our best years are behind us and says, ‘Wait. You matter, even now and especially now. Your prayers matter. Your talents matter. Your perspective matters.’ What sweet affirmation. What nourishment for the soul. Using Scripture, godly wisdom, quotes from Christian leaders, and heartfelt prayers, Kim takes us on a journey to understand how valuable we truly are. Especially to God. Please read Do I Still Matter? and rejoice in this time of your life. -- Jeanette Levellie, author of Hello, Beautiful! Finally Love Yourself Just As You Are
Do I Still Matter? tenderly penetrates the depths of an aging soul with a resounding Yes! Just when you thought the world had sidelined you, Kim Henry uses God’s Word to shift your perspective and remind you that with age comes incredible benefits that truly matter to God and His kingdom. -- Lisa Martin, women’s speaker, Lisa Martin Ministries
‘Do I Still Matter’ is a question people ask at any age, but especially as we grow older and begin to see ourselves through the lens of a younger generation. While we may feel like we’ve got storehouses full of wisdom and experience as we age, others often view us as outdated and irrelevant. Kim Henry’s book nails this burning question with God’s divine truth and perspective. Her devotional format is a perfect way to receive daily encouragement from the Word. Every chapter is filled with Scripture, prayer, and a secret key to growing older with confidence in the person God made us to be . . . at any age. Enjoy! -- Dr. Mary Ann Noack, pastor of women’s ministries, River West Church, Lake Oswego, OR
Kim Taylor Henry has addressed the unexpected situations we find ourselves in as we grow older. I faced this dilemma at the age of fifty when I was laid off from my job of 25 years. After a merger, the layoff wasn’t unexpected, since many others lost their jobs in the takeover too. However, the surprise was that it was difficult to find another job with all my experience. . . . I prayed daily for God to show me where He wanted me. But the months of waiting with no job made me ask God if He was done with me. Was I no longer important? Did I still matter? . . . In this thorough book, the author covers all the thoughts and questions we have as we age, and affirms that God has the answers to all of them. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is facing the challenges of age, and how to handle those challenges in a positive way, the way God would have us do. -- Marilyn Turk, award-winning author of more than 20 books and novellas
From the Back Cover
Do I still matter?
It's a question that plagues many of us at that awkward in-between age. Too old to be called middle-aged---after all, how many people live to be 110? But definitely too young to be elderly. Your roles, your body, and your life are changing. While that’s nothing new, now you’re less confident about your goals, your purpose, or your value. You’re asking the question and you want an answer: Do I still matter?
Kim Taylor Henry has experienced the fears, doubts, and insecurities that creep in as the years progress. And in forty daily readings, she offers biblical insights and practical pointers for dealing with life challenges that accompany aging. From the monumental (Who am I now?) to the mundane (My hands look so old!), Kim confronts the universal concerns of senior adulthood with a reliance upon God.
Find encouragement, community, and inspiration for living confidently and purposefully, in this decade and beyond!
