Trashed or Treasured? A Short, Practical Theology of Aging
by Rev. Glenn Havumaki
The book won Second Place in the Theology category of the 2012 Christian Choice Book Awards

Within the pages of Rev. Dr. Glenn Bryant Havumaki, D. Min.’s new book, ($11.99, paperback, 978-1-62419-581-5; $19.99, hardcover, 978-1-62419-582-2; $5.99, e-book, 978-1-62419-583-9) readers will gain awareness and the information with which to minister to, what’s best known as, the Baby Boomer generation. The content of this book is also directed to that very generation of people, in order to pursue a life of fullness with Christ.

Glenn Havumaki's overview:

“My book was written to present a Biblical basis for ministry that challenges the church and families to help older adults live out their years with value and purpose…” states the author. “And a call to help older adults enter a relationship with God, through faith in Jesus Christ, so that they will have assurance of spending eternity with God in Heaven.”

Glenn Bryant Havumaki, D. Min. has been ministering to older adults since 1976. For the last thirty-three years he has served as Director of Christian Ministries and Lead Chaplain at The Elim Park Baptist Home in Cheshire, CT. He is married to Sandra, and the father of three children; and called Papa by four grandchildren.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date.  The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, & barnsandnoble.com.  It can also be downloaded as an ebook (Kindle, Nook, etc).
