Many grandparents experience a surge of joy with the birth or
adoption of a grandchild. For years afterward, time together is
eagerly coveted, pictures are treasured and displayed, and multiple
gifts along with various kinds of support are gladly provided.
Richard Olson, a retired minister, professor of theology, and
grandparent many times over, presents the unconditional love of a
grandparent as indicative of a vocation, a calling from God. He
explores the vocation of grandparent in all of its multiple
dimensions of being and doing. Informed by a biblical perspective,
the book explores the author's personal journey of grandparenting
and includes conversations with a diverse set of other
grandparents. Olson examines biblical examples of grandparenting
and suggests that the grandparent vocation has possibilities that
often go unnoticed. These include care, enjoyment, and response to
issues throughout a grandchild's growth. He also addresses concerns
for our grandchildren's future world, and how grandparents can
engage in mutual conversation about faith, morals, and values in a
changing world. In addition, Olson discusses increasingly common
relationship types such as grandparents serving as primary
caregivers, adults becoming step-grandparents through marriage,
interreligious family systems, and grandparents handling children
with special needs. The book includes questions for personal or
group reflection.
