At first I admit that I was a little hesitant in picking up this book. However, Billy Graham reeled me in with his reflections on purpose, legacies, discipline and planning. He asks, “Why is aging a young person’s issue?” and the book talks about the importance of learning from others. It is full of wisdom and hope to readers of different ages. As a twenty-something year old adult, I find it a blessing to have read such reflections from a man who has lived life according to the Lord and now attempts to share his journey with us. He fills the pages with encouragement on growing older with grace and growing deeper in the faith and provides reflection as well as advice for the younger generation. The text flows smoothly and always brings us back to the Lord, the only true source of Grace and Hope!

His reflections are filled with forward-looking anticipation, hope and blessed assurance that it leaps from the pages and captivates the readers. He remains straight to the point and realistic, and includes common concerns that growing older may bring to the table. He challenges readers to prepare for life, but encourages us to surrender our lives and hearts to the Lord. He encourages proactive growth and good choices and encourages us to look more than the here and now, and inspires us to live a life worthy of the calling we receive from Christ, who has given us this life we live.

I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for a review. I was not asked to write a positive review in exchange for a copy, but choose to write a review that is constructive, honest and helpful to other consumers.
