Does God expect women who've lived faithfully most or all our lives to continue to grow in Christ as we age into our later decades? Absolutely! Not only does God want us to keep on maturing, but God provides the path to spiritual growth. God hardwired us to blossom into a new realm of spirituality as we age. Aging in Spirit provides a blueprint for developing the type of greater love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance that Jesus taught as we move into our elder years so we can continue to be the hands and feet of God until the end of our lives.

“Aging in Spirit is a must read for women of all spiritual levels. Karen Kaigler-Walker unearthed the root of lack of growth in spirit and provides both assessment and food for growth from Scripture and a wide range of sources. Although a believer for fifty-one years, I have room for growth and fully endorse Aging in Spirit for all women.”
