July 25, 2014 by J.I. Packer
“This week J.I. Packer turned 88. He has written a book on aging. It’s titled, Finishing Our Course with Joy: Guidance from God for Engaging with Our Aging. At age 68 I found it riveting.

Sin does not discriminate against age. Sin still wreaks havoc in the lives of the elderly. And aged men and women need the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
