Rich in Years: Finding Peace and Purpose in a Long Life
Johann Christoph Arnold
Foreword by Tim Costello
Contrary to the popular wisdom of our ad-driven culture, pastor Johann Christoph Arnold suggests that
trying to stay young is the worst way to grow old. In his eleventh book, he shows that people who accept
aging and the changes it brings enjoy happier, healthier lives that those who fight against it. Arnold knows
growing older is no picnic. Now in his seventies, the world-traveling writer and speaker finds himself
personally facing the limitations, indignities, regrets, and unspoken fears that come with aging. But he also
knows, from decades of pastoral experience, what older people can do to make the journey less daunting and more fulfilling.
No pop psychology or self-help manual,
Rich in Years
tackles tough issues such as loneliness, disability, dementia, making
peace with family, and preparing for eternity. Arnold has helped over a million readers navigate crucial life issues such as
forgiving, parenting, and grieving. His books blend wisdom from the world’s great thinkers and faith traditions with stories of
ordinary people. “People love stories,” he says. “My hope is that they find themselves in my books and say, ‘That could be
me.’”
“
A welcome change from the flood of media attention on baby boomers uncomfortably hitting their mid-60s, this graceful field
guide to life’s last journeys is deeply rooted in a love for Jesus and the Bible’s “good news.”” –

Why Forgive?
Johann Christoph Arnold
Having seen anger, resentment, and despair destroy far too many lives, the writer of this extraordinary book
on forgiving dispenses with glib pronouncements and lets the often untidy experiences of ordinary people
speak for themselves. In
Why Forgive?
the reader will meet men and women who have earned the right to
talk about the importance of overcoming hurt – and about the peace of mind they have found in doing so.
“
Hurt” is an understatement, actually, for many of these stories deal with the harrowing effects of violent
crime, betrayal, abuse, bigotry, and war. But
Why Forgive?
examines life’s more mundane battle scars as
well: the persistent hobgoblins of backbiting, gossip, and strained family ties, marriages gone cold and tensions in the
workplace. As in life, not every story has a happy ending – a fact Arnold thankfully refuses to skirt. The book also addresses
the difficulty of forgiving oneself, the temptation to blame God, and the turmoil of those who simply cannot seem to forgive,
even though they try.
