Not Old, Not Young, Not Done

The period of time between middle age and old age has not yet been given a name, but with characteristic wisdom, warmth and insight, Christopher Ash has provided us with a navigational map to chart our progress. The unique privileges, challenges and opportunities of this era are to be enjoyed rather than endured as we follow Jesus and seek to make a difference for his kingdom.

In our fifties and sixties it can be so easy, so comfortable, to step back from serving in the church, stop getting involved in the lives of needy people, and simply settle into a comfortable spirituality that lacks passion for prayer and for new discoveries in the Bible. In this book, Christopher Ash kindly nudges us out of complacency, encouraging us to steward this particular season of life for the kingdom of God.

This book is a lifebuoy to lift you out of the ‘Sea of Disappointment’ and put you on the ‘Path of Contentment’ as you navigate your fifties and sixties. But whatever your age, you will be steadied and strengthened by this pastoral gem from Christopher Ash. I found myself face to face with familiar griefs but also such comforting remedies. The lies we breathe are destabilising us—here is real stabilising truth and love.
