Editorial Reviews

‘Do I Still Matter’ is a question people ask at any age, but especially as we grow older and begin to see ourselves through the lens of a younger generation. While we may feel like we’ve got storehouses full of wisdom and experience as we age, others often view us as outdated and irrelevant. Kim Henry’s book nails this burning question with God’s divine truth and perspective. Her devotional format is a perfect way to receive daily encouragement from the Word. Every chapter is filled with Scripture, prayer, and a secret key to growing older with confidence in the person God made us to be . . . at any age. Enjoy!

Kim Taylor Henry has addressed the unexpected situations we find ourselves in as we grow older. I faced this dilemma at the age of fifty when I was laid off from my job of 25 years. After a merger, the layoff wasn’t unexpected, since many others lost their jobs in the takeover too. However, the surprise was that it was difficult to find another job with all my experience. . . . I prayed daily for God to show me where He wanted me. But the months of waiting with no job made me ask God if He was done with me. Was I no longer important? Did I still matter? . . . In this thorough book, the author covers all the thoughts and questions we have as we age, and affirms that God has the answers to all of them. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is facing the challenges of age, and how to handle those challenges in a positive way, the way God would have us do.

In Kim Henry’s warm and gracious style, she comes alongside those of us who may think our best years are behind us and says, ‘Wait. You matter, even now and especially now. Your prayers matter. Your talents matter. Your perspective matters.’ What sweet affirmation. What nourishment for the soul. Using Scripture,  godly wisdom,  quotes from Christian leaders, and heartfelt prayers, Kim takes us on a journey to understand how valuable we truly are. Especially to God. Please read Do I Still Matter? and rejoice in this time of your life.
