The Voice of This Calling

In these moving addresses, Eric James, a regular on British radio, addresses those of mature years and those who pastor to the aging. Here are reflections based on profound spiritual and pastoral experience about the nature and spirituality of growing older, of the loss of close friends and relatives, on the nature of Christian hope, on the purpose of remembrance of the departed, and on the true meaning of priesthood.

In the modern world we tend to think we can reach God by running faster, by gobbling up more and more information, and by doing more. In the pages of this book, written by an author who is approaching his eightieth birthday, is the antidote to such folly, from one who has learned by experience.
