Women who face an empty nest, retirement, or life without their husband often feel they are no longer needed. Author Lorry Lutz reminds readers that they still have purpose and value no matter what their stage of life. She helps women in midlife plan ahead for their later years and mobilizes senior women to share their unique gifts, showing that life can be rewarding at any age. Looking Forward to the Rest of Your Life? debunks negative stereotypes pinned on older women. Each chapter includes biographical sketches of women like Vonette Bright and Joy Dawson who exemplify how to make the latter years count. This timely book will also inspire church leaders to harness the full potential and wisdom of their female senior members.
