Fire in the Soul: A Prayer Book for the Later Years

In Fire in the Soul, Richard L. Morgan offers prayers to God for help in meeting the following late-life challenges:

1. discovering God's call at retirement
2. moving to deeper contemplation
3. accepting aging
4. discerning the meaning of stories
5. mentoring
6. facing loss and death
7. redeeming suffering

Morgan includes personal prayers (most written after his own retirement) as well as classic prayers from John Calvin, Saint Augustine, John Donne, and Teresa of Avila. A constant spiritual guide for the later years, Fire in the Soul is a valuable guide for midlifers as well as clergy, social workers, and other professionals who work with older adults.
