Rich in Years: Finding Peace and Purpose in a Long Life

Johann Christoph Arnold

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Why shouldn’t growing older be rewarding?

Johann Christoph Arnold, whose books have helped over a million readers through life’s challenges, wants us to rediscover the spiritual riches that age has to offer.

Now in his seventies, Arnold finds himself personally facing the trials that come with aging. But he knows, from decades of pastoral experience, what older people and their caregivers can do to make the journey more fulfilling.

So what’s the secret of those who continue to love life regardless of their health or circumstances? In Rich in Years, Arnold blends the wisdom from some of the world’s great thinkers with stories of people he has known and admired to show that one doesn’t have to be young to enjoy life, or physically fit to make an invaluable contribution to society.

No pop psychology or self-help manual, Rich in Years tackles tough issues such combatting loneliness, living with dementia, reconciling with family, and making end-of-life decisions.

"On these pages are wonderful words of hope. Savor them." -- Pete Seeger, musician

"Using profound and stimulating stories, Johann Christoph Arnold welcomes us into an elegant fabric of elderly life, abundant with significance and relationships. I know you will find this book spiritually enriching." -- Marva J. Dawn, author

"In this compact yet compelling book, Johann Christoph Arnold brings the reader a wealth of personal stories about growing older -- a time when opportunities flourish for living with purpose..." -- Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York
