Living Life to the Full: A Guide to Spiritual Health in Later YearsBloomsbury Academic, 1 apr. 2006 - 224 pagini In Western society people are now living much longer. Old age offers one of the biggest challenges in the journey of life which many struggle with. Una Kroll's new book is packed positive insights arising out of her experience as a medical practitioner and spiritual director. In the most general sense this book is about the spirituality of old age, but it is not written in order to drum religion downs people's throats. Kroll looks at both physical and emotional illnesses and touches on some real issues relating to euthanasia and medical termination without the victim's consent. The honesty and downright common sense of this book make it a rare and extremely useful piece of work. |
