A Good Old Age: An A to Z of Loving and Following the Lord Jesus in Later Years
Old age often gets a bad press. Associated with grumpiness, aches and pains, loneliness, and isolation it’s not something we particularly look forward to or relish when we’re there.
Pastor and Bible teacher, Derek Prime, himself in his 80s, shows us that there is another way to view old age. He guides us through 26 Christian priorities that we should hold to in later life. With biblical wisdom and practical advice, he helps us to navigate the unique challenges and joys that old age can bring. This is a book to dip into, meditate on and read prayerfully as you let the truths it contains gently transform the way you live your old age.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“We all learned the alphabet when we were young. But here Derek Prime suggests there is another alphabet we need to learn if we are to enjoy A Good Old Age. With characteristic clarity and grace, he spells out an A to Z of biblical wisdom for the elderly. But the value of these pages goes far beyond encouraging senior-citizens. There is also something here for families, church leaders, and young people too. A great reminder that the starting place for A Good Old Age is long before it begins!”
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Preacher and Author
“There are gems of Christlike wisdom on every page of this lovely book, written by an older believer and pastor with a godly sweetness and earthy directness. I have loved reading it and look forward to reading it again, slowly, and probably more than once, if the Lord spares me into older and older age. I shall buy copies for ageing contemporaries, who need to read it too!”

“Like vintage wine, A Good Old Age is the exquisite fruit of a lifetime of Christian ministry and leadership that aims to particularly help elderly Christians navigate the final years of the journey of faith. It charts the 'A to Z' of Christian discipleship in an immensely practical, warm, and honest way in short, insightful reflections on each letter of the Alphabet of Christian Living. It’s so good it shouldn’t be kept to the ‘Oldies' - it will be a great aid to discipleship to a Christian of any age. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”
