Review of the book Rich in Years by Johann Christoph Arnold

I really enjoyed reading this book! This book was about an older person who was sharing stories of his friends and their lives and how much more life is when you are older and can share your past experiences with you friends or younger ones. I enjoyed the quote on page 89 which says " Jesus fought every evil and loved everyone, without reservation; with compassion, but with incredible straightforwardness. Not that I could ever do that. But that's how I've wanted to live my life- with that kind of love." I also like the quote on page 97 which reads " In Jesus' eyes, it's the every act of commitment, not the length of the commitment, that matters. Wether we begin to serve and love early or late in life, there are always opportunities to do so, no matter how sick or weak we are. All in all a really good book that I would recommend to my friend.

A great find from Facebook
