About our cover — We need an uprising in thought in regard to age classifications. Fresh convictions about the true nature of life as spiritual impel this uprising.
People try to hang on to youth or a facsimile of it. They try to extend middle age in the hopes of putting off aging. Yet our strength and freshness come from something timeless — spiritual manhood and womanhood, in God's likeness.
Sometimes the weight of our past presses down on our present. As we learn more of our spiritual wholeness, not only does the burden lift but healing and transformation occur.
If we are looking for safety, for something that will always be with us, the Bible points us in the right direction. It shows us the power and presence of divine Love.
"... I believe the capacity to be youthful lies within us all. It has to do, first and foremost, with attitude and then activity and involvement. . . ."
