This book is bursting with kindness. Its aim is to 'highlight misconceptions about old age - from a biblical viewpoint' and to 'encourage older people, generally'.
Coghlan's main purpose is to develop among seniors a mindset whereby they approach old age with a positive attitude and an expectation that God can still use them.
God doesn't want us to stop living fulfilling lives - filled with joy and hope - just because we have reached a certain age. We still have spiritual needs to be met; callings to fulfil; and, through our relationship with Jesus, an eternal spiritual connection with God that no one and nothing can take away.
