Items related to A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to Old Age: Life Changes...
It started almost 15 years ago. My wife Marj and I had moved to a new community and visited a local church. We arrived for Sunday school, were warmly greeted, and then ushered into a class of seniors. . . . Unfortunately, the assault on our prime-of-life status from every quarter of society has only intensified since then. Waitresses have stopped asking if we qualify for the senior discount; they simply give it to us. When I'm in public, young women step aside for me to enter doors ahead of them. . . . A publisher issued a newly designed version of one of my books that had been in print for 20 years. On the back cover, I was described as one who "remains active in writing and speaking." I wondered why they didn't add that I could still feed myself. Whether you are 50 or 70, you have probably shared some of Stanley C. Baldwin's experiences. Here is an opportunity to relive them with laughter. But, more importantly, in these pages you'll find an opportunity to reflect on how these life changes relate to your Christian life. This is a book for those who reject the grumpiness of aging and embrace the grace of life with Christ.

From the Author:
I could not have written this book until now because I was "not getting old--just getting better." Being at last confronted with unmistakable evidence of my aging was traumatic for me. It brought on a pronounced grieving. Alas for my lost youth! But a sense of humor helped, and I decided to write about aging not as a grim reality or prospect but with an upbeat style. I didn't minimize the issues one faces, but I did find lots to laugh about along with serious help for those issues.
