At the end of the day: enjoying life in the departure lounge

Quick overview An octogenarian takes a wryly look at what it's like to be old in an era of the relentlessly new. The book is structured around a series of fascinating biblical pictures, from the legendary Methuselah to the feisty Sarah and the great leader Moses, from the picture of inevitable decline as the Preacher saw it in Ecclesiastes to the glorious Nunc Dimittis of old Simeon in the Temple.
