Whatever season of life you’re in, God has equipped you to flourish—to live in the transforming power and beauty of His grace. As we age, we can easily lose sight of this message as cultural ideals glorifying youth take center stage.
In the book, Aging With Grace, Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt offer present-day and biblical examples of women who rediscovered Gospel-rooted joy in their lives. Equipped with a biblical view of aging, Aging with Grace will help you encounter afresh the Gospel that “is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious.”

What People Are Saying About Aging With Grace
"As a woman on the cusp of her 40’s, I’ve harbored a secret fear of aging. More than the changes of my physical appearance, I’ve feared becoming obsolete as I age. What kind of impact can I have on the kingdom of God when my body is worn down and I can’t run the race as quickly as I used to? I read Aging with Grace with a lot of tears and thankfulness as my fears were turned to praise. Sharon and Susan address the realities of aging with biblical encouragement to fix our gaze on our timeless God who will finish the work He started in us. Because God is faithful, our growth in Christ will continue as we age. This is a book I will return to over and over again." —Glenna Marshall
"To help guide our perspective on aging, Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt write, Aging with Grace: Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture. In 8 chapters, they share their own stories with vulnerability, along with those of other women, and women of the Bible, teaching us to think through what Scripture teaches about aging. They tell us that, aging with grace, or what the Bible calls growing in grace, is impossible apart from God’s grace. This book is not a list of ideas to become a gracious older woman. It’s about the life-long adventure of God giving His children the desire and ability to do all things—even aging with grace—through Him who strengthens us.” —Amber Thiessen
"In Aging with Grace: Flourishing in an Anti-Aging Culture, Sharon Betters and Susan Hunt “want readers to ask, ‘What if aging, though challenging, is not a season of purposelessness, but rather an opportunity to discover our true identity in a way we couldn’t in the first half of life? What if we purposefully prepare for the afternoon of life while we are in the first half of life?'” (p. 18, Kindle version). The book is helpful for those already in their later years as well as those wanting to prepare for them adequately.
Susan writes, “The world tells us aging is our enemy, and we should fight it; the Bible says it’s our friend: ‘Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days'” (Job 12: 12)” (p. 27)." --Barbra Harper
