Rich in Years is my prize book now on loan to the rest of our little community. Have showed it to many people who on just browsing knew it was for them and ordered it. I am an avid reader both professionally and to grow my own journey – Rich in Years is the one that has – and I hope will – always find me in readiness for ‘that next room where the Master Jesus awaits me’

Margaret Redmond

On these pages are wonderful words of hope. Savor them. As I sing in a recent song, ‘What we do now, you and me, will affect eternity – God’s counting on me, God’s counting on you.’

Pete Seeger, musician

In Rich in Years, Johann Christoph Arnold addresses a topic that is pertinent to many. This book encourages those who are aging and their caregivers to accept the challenges they are facing, and puts a positive light on these experiences.

Ben Carson, MD, author, Gifted Hands

I have found much in these pages for reflection and comfort and hope this book will reach many who are in need of such consolation and understanding as the years mount up.

Cardinal Cassidy, president emeritus, PCPCU, the Vatican

It is a joy to be able to acknowledge in Johann Christoph Arnold’s book a manifestation of “the light of faith” that Pope Francis and Pope Benedict have described as an essential guide for our lives. Rich in Years is testimony to the bond of faith that we as Christians share.

Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Archbishop of Boston

A treasure trove of rich insights and pastoral wisdom! Johann Christoph Arnold’s extraordinary life of Christian leadership is in full evidence as he relates dozens of stories about life as an experience that can indeed become richer as the years pass. Every person over fifty – or who hopes to be someday – should read this book!

Don Mosley, Jubilee Partners

A symphony of voices of men and women willing to talk about aging. The author weaves their stories together as a pastor who knows how to listen. There is much beauty here and not a trace of sentimentality.

Eugene H. Peterson, author and scholar, The Message Bible

A moving, lyrical invitation to see old age through a transformative lens. Deeply rooted in his revolutionary Christian faith and suffused with love, Arnold’s work challenges the widespread preoccupation with extending life at all costs – and avoiding the consequences of aging – with touching stories of the quiet triumphs won in the lives and deaths of people who trusted in God.

Eugene Rivers III, Azusa Christian Community

Using profound and stimulating stories, Arnold welcomes us into an elegant fabric of elderly life, abundant with significance. I know you will find this book spiritually enriching.

Marva J. Dawn, author, Being Well When We're Ill

Rich in Years is rich in wisdom, rich in courage, rich in hope. The people we meet in these pages and the stories they tell all build in us a confident assurance that God is with us every step of our journey.

Richard J. Foster, author, Celebration of Discipline

In this compact yet compelling book, Arnold brings the reader a wealth of personal stories about growing older. His hope-filled insights encourage those rich in years to also remain rich in faith.

Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York
