Growing "older" is a process. Growing "old" is a conclusion. If you re growing "older" you see some hope because you have perspective and you keep learning. If you ve grown "old," you may cynically think that times have never been as bad as they are now, and that they can only get worse. This book is about learning how to make peace with where you are right now. It s about learning from the past and then moving past it. It s about growing personally, spiritually, and in our relationships with God and with others. If we think properly about growing older we ll never have to grow old."
