Reseña del editor:

Growing older doesn’t have to mean growing old. J. Ellsworth Kalas says, “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. “Older is a journey. Old is a destination. Mind you, I believe in a destination, but my idea of a destination for life is heaven. I want everything prior to heaven to be part of my preparation for that destination. If I settle for old as my destination, I will rob myself of some of the best years of preparation for the big exit, the grand eternal journey.” 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 and continuing to grow—personally, spiritually, and in our relationships with God and with others.
