"Why Am I Still Here?" from Christian Faith Publishing authors Robert Hampel with Mary Hampel DeHay is an enjoyable discussion that explores the moments that challenge one and relevant scripture that resonates during times of change.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Why Am I Still Here?": a powerful message of God's comfort. "Why Am I Still Here?" is the creation of published author Robert Hampel with Mary Hampel DeHay. Robert Hampel is a native of Oakland, California, and a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley (AB, 1946) and San Francisco Theological Seminary, San Anselmo, California (MDiv, 1950; DMin, 1976). He was ordained to the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in May of 1950, also marrying Carolyn Muir, a one-year seminary student at SFTS, the same month. Together they share a daughter, Mary Carolyn, and a son, Robert David. His first book, "The Book That Reads Me," was published by Christian Faith Publishing in 2019.
Robert Hampel with Mary Hampel DeHay share, "I had retired officially after forty years of active ministry in churches in Oregon and California. But in retirement, and at the age of seventy-five, I was invited by the pastor and elders of a church in California to join their staff as minister of visitation. I understand that in their invitation was a concern that older folks who could no longer be as active as they might have been would not be lost or forgotten.
"In three-and-a-half years of this ministry, I became better acquainted with some whom I had already known and came to know many whom I had not known before. Occasionally, one or another of these friends would, in the course of conversation, utter the words, 'Why am I still here?'
"This book deals with that question, what might be behind its being voiced, and the answer or answers to it."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Robert Hampel with Mary Hampel DeHay's new book offers a heartfelt perspective on aging, life's changes, and one's ultimate destiny.
Hampel's thoughtful reflection is an engaging opportunity to hear a firsthand account of the highs and lows of growing older.
