Dare to Live: Devotions for Those Over The Hill, Not Under It! (Volume 1)
This book is well thought out and put together. Excellent Christmas gift for any adult or for a personal purchase!- Helen Catharine RobertsI loved Elizabeth’s frank viewpoint. She is very transparent and has a quirky sense of humor that really drives home some hard truths. She talks about how nice it is to become a senior (you get discounts at restaurants) and then talks about the bad as well (your health may get worse or your ability to adapt to change is hampered). The book is a series of devotionals that each end with a prayer, Bible passage to pursue and questions to make you think.- Sharon WilliamsI think this is an excellent book, that can be shared with everyone, no matter WHAT they're age! 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.- S. HenkeI believe you will enjoy reading this book. It is in large print and easy to read. It hits the mark. I love it! The book "Dare To Live-Devotions for Those Over The Hill, Not Under It" is written by Elizabeth Van Liere. The author is a senior in her eighties. She gives timely and easy to read devotions. They deal with things that seniors live with. The main theme is that you should not give up no matter what your age. It is a great reminder for all of us to make the best of our lives. One of the devotions is called, "Chocolates are Yummy but God is Sweeter." I will let you use your imagination on that one. The book is very well written. I was given this book to read and give my honest opinion. That is what I have done.- Granny KarenWell, I'm not a senior yet... some day I hope to be... and I love this little devotional. I have always had a heart for seniors. I love to read their stories and learn about their struggles, their blessings... the whole bit. This book offers just that. Elizabeth Van Liere has written Dare to Live: Devotions for Those Over The Hill, Not Under It! It's a wonderful little devotional written for seniors.
