Beach Calling
NEW
A Devotional Journal for the Middle Years and Beyond —Missy Buchanan
Aging doesn’t take much effort—all you have to do is breathe. Aging faithfully is different. It requires intentional effort to stay focused on God as you make your way through a world of chaos and change. Many women dread aging and resist thinking about it. Yet God designed the human body to change over time, and growing older is part of God’s plan. How we handle the changes that accompany aging reveals much about our spiritual maturity. Beach Calling takes a fresh approach to aging. Missy Buchanan uses comforting imagery from the beach and ocean to engage readers in spiritual reflection. In this devotional journal for women, she guides readers to explore and embrace God’s plan for growing older. Each devotion focuses on a familiar aspect of beach life and offers a parallel lesson on aging. Each reading contains prompts that invite readers to capture their thoughts in the journaling space provided. Beach Calling helps women accept and prepare for life transitions, including how to navigate the challenges of loss and decline. This inspiring resource encourages readers to discover the hope and joy that faithful aging can bring. HARDCOVER WITH

I wrote Beach Calling for you, and I wrote it for me. Perhaps you are lucky enough to be reading this book on a pristine beach. But even if you are reading it at a cluttered kitchen table with a cup of lukewarm coffee, I hope the lyrical language of the sea will transport you to a beachside retreat and draw you gently into the deep water of each spiritual lesson. If you want to ponder what aging faithfully means, you will want to read this book. If you find accepting or acknowledging your own aging journey to be difficult, you desperately need to read this book. It’s time to kick off your flip-flops. Feel the sand between your toes. Let’s walk together toward the open sea. The beach is calling.
