HICKORY, NC, Feb. 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- Tightening budgets in states across the nation and drops in charitable giving are leaving American seniors particularly vulnerable in this economic crisis. In recent years, caregivers for the elderly have experienced a greater demand for services. Hospitals are experiencing longer wait times in the ER and an increased number of medical visits by those over the age of 65. As more elderly Americans face these increasing fears and challenges, tending to their Spiritual needs can bring hope and encouragement and help them to rediscover God's purpose in their lives.

Mature Hearts, Scriptural Promises for our Beloved Seniors, is a one of a kind program that grew out of a need to bring encouragement to the seniors who are not able to participate in traditional bible study programs. It is available on DVD and is a convenient way to bring a Spiritual program to those who could benefit from some encouragement and a sense of continued purpose during these difficult times. Because of the unique recorded format, the program can be utilized for those seniors that may be living alone, in the hospital, in assisted living or in a nursing home. The program is adaptable to group study sessions within these settings or it can be used individually with personal DVD players.

Throughout the DVD, Sandy Dunbar, educator and Christian retreat leader from Hickory, NC speaks from her heart and shares her passion for the Word of God. Mature Hearts combines Dunbar's excellent teaching with Scripture, uplifting music and heartwarming imagery to share four lessons entitled: Hope, Grace, Assurance in Christ and Jesus Loves Me. Each is filled with encouragement, comfort and hope to Seniors everywhere. Mature Hearts is truly a timeless message worth sharing.
