If you think that being old is about having a rocking chair and an easy life style, think again. You're looking through the binoculars backwards. What's Age Got To Do With It? turns the lenses the right way around and gives a clear, Scriptural view of God's purpose for old age.

A great way to look at old age as a gift rather than just a time to slow down and give up on life.

“We are compelled to accept that life has three stages—we are children, or adolescence, or adults. That’s it—no old age.”

“Sales of anti-ageing products show a burning desire to avoid life’s next developmental challenge. But still it will come.”– Dr. William Thomas, Harvard Medical School graduate

Quotes like these help Louise Morse to present old age as a necessary and meaningful part of life. She proposes that even though ageing comes toward the end of life, God intends for us to continue the process of developing, maturing and contributing our talents. She encourages the younger folk to recognize and respect elderhood (because their day is coming), and she counsels the elders to embrace it and maximize its significance.

She does not let us forget that her views are Christian, but her content is interesting and helpful to all readers regardless of religious orientation. The book is easy to read, and beneficial to elders and all potential elders.
