Description

Do I still matter?
 
It's a question that plagues many of us at that awkward in-between age. Too old to be called middle-aged---after all, how many people live to be 110? But definitely too young to be elderly. Your roles, your body, and your life are changing. While that’s nothing new, now you’re less confident about your goals, your purpose, or your value. You’re asking the question and you want an answer: Do I still matter?
 
Kim Taylor Henry has experienced the fears, doubts, and insecurities that creep in as the years progress. And in forty daily readings, she offers biblical insights and practical pointers for dealing with life challenges that accompany aging. From the monumental (Who am I now?) to the mundane (My hands look so old!), Kim confronts the universal concerns of senior adulthood with a reliance upon God.
 
Find encouragement, community, and inspiration for living confidently and purposefully, in this decade and beyond!

This book is such an encouraging and important book for all women to read as we age! It balances the perfect amount of Scripture, anecdotes, quotes and inspiration that makes it easy and joyful to read. I will use this book professionally and also give as a gift to other women in my life who, like most of us, are struggling with questions about our bodies, minds and spirits as we age. This is a book I will revisit often in the years to come.

Do I Still Matter? The Secrets of Aging with Faith and Purpose by Kimberly Taylor Henry is a book that is so timely for many of us today. I am like many who are at retirement age but haven’t reached the “elderly age” yet. Still, I do not always have the strength or the stamina to do what I could do when I was thirty, yet I can do some things. This was such an encouraging book for me.

Each devotional filled is filled with Bible, quotes, secrets to put in my heart and mind and even anecdotes from others. Wonderful from beginning to end. This is one book I will be gifting my friends who must also be wondering, “Do we still matter,” because thank you, Lord, we do.

Do I Still Matter is another wonderful Our Daily Bread devotional for women It starts with a verse about the theme of the day, a short devotional including more verses, a prayer and ends with a "take away" to summarize the concept.
When I requested the book, it stated it was for those no longer middle aged, but also not elderly and I would say that was correct. The topics included grandparenting, retirement, and relationships with adult children and more. I am younger than the age it's geared at, but I still found it very impactful to my life. I think others will also who are middle age and beyond.
I received this book complimentary thanks to Net Galley, but all opinions are my own.

I liked this book on aging with faith, because I too have questioned, “Do I Still Matter?” In short, brief reads, set in the pattern of scripture verse, answer, prayer and a soul care tip; she provides quick advice to many of our thoughts on aging in faith and purpose in our later years.

This book came into my life at just the right time. Recently, both my 85-year-old mother and a 75-year-old friend asked me the same heartfelt question: Do I still matter? Kim Taylor Henry beautifully addresses this concern, reminding us that our value doesn’t diminish with age.

As we grow older, we may lose roles or identities we once relied on—careers, parenting, accomplishments—but this book reassures us that our worth is rooted in being a child of God, not in what we do. Through heartfelt stories, scripture, and prayers, and so much more, we are the encouraged to embrace every season of life with purpose and faith.

This book is a much-needed reminder that God’s plans for us never expire. Our best years aren’t behind us; they continue to unfold in His perfect time. I’m grateful for this uplifting message and can’t wait to share it with loved ones.
