A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to Old Age: Life Changes After 50

by Stanley C. Baldwin

Book Overview

Just what I was hoping for

I purchased this book for my husband (who is 51) and having trouble accepting that he is getting older. I read an excerpt, saw that it was lighthearted and hoped it would help my husband feel more comfortable in his wrinkling skin. Having a short attention span (except when it comes to 24 hour news programming) I needed something he would follow through on. This book was a perfect choice! He read it over the course of three days, sometimes sharing bits with me. He identified with it cover to cover. Good stuff!

A Great Book

This book will be promoted extensively in my work at Pastor to the Senior Adults. It's a great tool for outreach. It is well written, insightful, and enjoyable. Pastor Gerald Ward
