About the author: quoting from the book's back cover, "Malcolm Boyd is the author of 'Modern Maturity's' popular 'You and I' column. He has written twenty-three books, including 'Are You Running with Me, Jesus?' He recently celebrated his seventieth birthday." Sandra Haldeman Martz, editor of 'When I am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple,' said of this work, "[It is] a rich, warm affirmation of the breadth and depth, the beauty and poignancy of old age. Malcolm Boyd has a special talent for sensing what people need, rather than just responding to what they ask for. The diversity of lifestyles and life issues addressed are particularly refreshing. This lovely book would be a loving gift for anyone of any age." While this work is arranged by date, going through the whole year, a subject index is included.
