Using real-life illustrations, the Lesters offer practical advice based on how others have struggled and coped with the problems of aging. They discuss the physical and mental changes in aging parents, how to face anxieties about death, and what happens when one parent dies. They examine living wills, how decisions are made on where the parents will live, and how to deal with role reversals.

Noted teacher and experienced counselor Andrew Lester challenges ministers to take up an often neglected task--caring for the children of the parish. It is the pastor's role, Lester says, to make spiritual sense out of the chaos of crisis. He looks to the ministry of Jesus as the model for faithful, effective ministry and illustrates how a pastor's relationship with troubled children can have a significant impact on their development.
