"I read this book from cover to cover.
To my knowledge, Ambushed at Sunset is the only book available
that deals so thoroughly, so wisely, so helpfully with problems
that trouble aging people. Or if you are at life's high noon (or
earlier), this book will help you understand some acute dificulties
with which relatives and friends in life's senior years may be
struggling. Ideal for a church library and for people working
with and caring for seniors.
—Dr. Vernon Grounds, Chancellor, Denver
Seminary
"Reader friendly, practical, clear,
upbeat, humorous and helpful. This is a great gift for seniors.
It will stimulate enjoyable discussions with one's spouse, small
groups and classes. A must for people working with, and caring
for, seniors."
—Dr. Gordon Lewis, Senior Theology Professor,
Denver Seminary
"I approached Ambused at Sunset
with a bit of anxiety. Would the author preach at me? Would the
book add to my problems? I was delightfully wrong on both counts.
The book is entertaining, enlightening, and encouraging. I like
the positive emphasis, the wise use of humor, and the solid biblical
counsel that isn't preachy."
—Dr. Warren Wiersbe, Author, Conference
Speaker
"If this book is any indication of
style, Dr. Gilmore must be a lively conference speaker and seminar
leader on senior themes. It is an easy volume to find one's way
through."
—Paul Schuessler, Reviewer, MetroLutheran,
Minneapolis, MN
Ambushed at Sunset shows how Jesus's
desert temptations have practical significance and application
to "Fifty-Something" folks. Gilmore addresses fourteen
specific temptations that face older adults and advises how Christians
can both neutralize and defeat these temptations. If you enjoy
Christian perspectives written with verve and vitality, you will
cherish the penetrating and practical insights of this book. Small
groups will find it appealing because each chapter includes suggested
discussion questions.
About the Author

and Too Young To Be Old. He is extensively quoted in Zondervan’s
Senior Devotional Bible and Senior Daybreak. Gilmore
