A Happy Old Age

Order this book

"A Happy Old Age" is a small but profound manual written by the Anglican pastor Ashton Oxenden , especially directed to those who are approaching or already living in their later years. Far from being a pessimistic or nostalgic reflection on aging, this work offers a biblical, hopeful, and deeply Christian perspective on how believers can enjoy their final years with joy, purpose, and faithfulness to the Lord.

The book is divided into twelve short chapters addressing key themes relevant to older adults, such as:

• Spiritual duties in old age.
• Particular temptations of this life stage.
• Trials and how to face them with faith.
• The unique blessings and opportunities God gives in these years.

Oxenden not only offers practical advice, but also words of encouragement and spiritual guidance, urging readers to keep their communion with God alive through Bible study, prayer, and a conscious preparation for the final meeting with Christ. With his eyes firmly fixed on heaven, the author reminds us that true happiness does not depend on physical health or earthly circumstances, but on our relationship with Jesus Christ.

This book is ideal both for older individuals seeking spiritual guidance, and for family members and Christian leaders who desire to support the elderly in their walk of faith. "A Happy Old Age" is a spiritual legacy that invites us to see life’s final years not as a loss, but as a season of mature fruit, wisdom, peace, and joy in the Lord.
