Life can get better with age! Old age is a gift from God. Live it to the fullest. The Bible gives us hope, comfort and encouragement in our journey of aging. It's full of promises to keep us going and a spirit of hope in our daily lives. Application of the advice given in this book is directed toward people of faith, but this application can be universal to all people. All of us on our journey through life can relate to common sense ideas that help make life fulfilling and joyful. Our "extra years" are not just for breathing. An old song goes: "Be my life's companion and we'll never grow old. When there's joy in living you just never grow old. You've got to stay young 'cause you'll never grow old." Christ is the perfect companion. Hopefully, this book will help us all to be companions that never grow old. Much of the common sense portion added by the author is based primarily upon the experience of aging, blended with useful quotes of wise and well-known people. Living in an independent living community, that also has assisted living and a memory care facilities, has made the writer aware of how the elderly live their daily lives. Observations of numerous relatives and friends who have lived in various senior facilities had been equally beneficial. The author believes what he has learned is worth sharing.

Timeless wisdom on growing old gracefully from one of ancient Rome's greatest philosophers Worried that old age will inevitably mean losing your libido, your health, and possibly your marbles too? Well, Cicero has some good news for you. In How to Grow Old, the great Roman orator and statesman eloquently describes how you can make the second half of life the best part of all—and why you might discover that reading and gardening are actually far more pleasurable than sex ever was. Filled with timeless wisdom and practical guidance, Cicero's brief, charming classic—written in 44 BC and originally titled On Old Age—has delighted and inspired readers, from Saint Augustine to Thomas Jefferson, for more than two thousand years. Presented here in a lively new translation with an informative new introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, the book directly addresses the greatest fears of growing older and persuasively argues why these worries are greatly exaggerated—or altogether mistaken. Montaigne said Cicero's book "gives one an appetite for growing old." The American founding father John Adams read it repeatedly in his later years. And today its lessons are more relevant than ever in a world obsessed with the futile pursuit of youth.

A volume of Thomas Paine's most essential works, showcasing one of American history's most eloquent proponents of democracy. Upon publication, Thomas Paine’s modest pamphlet Common Sense shocked and spurred the foundling American colonies of 1776 to action. It demanded freedom from Britain—when even the most fervent patriots were only advocating tax reform. Paine’s daring prose paved the way for the Declaration of Independence and, consequently, the Revolutionary War. For “without the pen of Paine,” as John Adams said, “the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain.” Later, his impassioned defense of the French Revolution, Rights of Man, caused a worldwide sensation. Napoleon, for one, claimed to have slept with a copy under his pillow, recommending that “a statue of gold should be erected to [Paine] in every city in the universe.” Here in one volume, these two complete works are joined with selections from Pain's other major essays, “The Crisis,” “The Age of Reason,” and “Agrarian Justice.” Includes a Foreword by Jack Fruchtman Jr. and an Introduction by Sidney Hook
