Ellen G. White
The time comes when each of us must slow down a bit and turn over our work to younger hands and hearts. When that time comes, some help and counsel may be needed. The Retirement Years by Ellen G. White offers many inspired and inspiring answers to questions raised by golden-agers. These gems of thought have been gleaned from heer letters, manuscripts, books, and articles, many of which were written after she was 65 – during the 23 years frin 1892 to 1915.
Ellen white did not believe in “retirement by rust.” To her, retirement was “by wear and tear.” But she was not a harsh taskmaster. Rather, she was a mentor graced with an understanding heart and a merciful attitude gained through intimate acquaintance with a kind heavenly Gather and His Son, Jesus Christ.
In this collection of messages from the pen of God’s devoted servant, you will find valuable wisdom and guidance for people of retirement years who wish to grasp more fully the statement of Christ: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
