Good day! My name is Kevin. I have been a Christian for about 29 years now. I love the Lord but certainly have my shortcomings (more than I would like 
). I know that my salvation is secure and have overall peace knowing that -- no matter what -- I will be with God and Jesus when this mortal body is finished.
Even with that, I still have my challenges. One of the things that I am struggling with -- at least a little -- is just...getting older in general. I will be 54 in 3 months. I realize that age is a relevant thing. But, at this stage of life, I am just having somewhat of a hard time accepting that my body is slowly breaking down -- both physically and mentally. It has become abundantly clear that I will never be as strong or as quick -- physically or mentally -- as I was when I was in my 20s. While I realize that is just natural progression and most people will go through this phase -- it is still hard for me to accept.
I feel myself feeling nostalgic more these days and longing for the body and mind that I had in my 20s -- when life felt so "alive". In any case, I recognize that, while minor right now, this has potential to be a stumbling block in my walk with Christ.
So, all that to say, I am looking for a good Christian book or two (or three -- and not counting the Bible, of course ) that might be an encouragement to a guy like me with where I am at with life and with what I shared.
Does anyone have any good book recommendations that might provide encouragement on this topic of aging?
Thanks,
Kevin
