Magnificent colored photos, very moving text
This is a lavish book with wonderful photos of older peoplefrom different walks of life and different countries. I greatlyappreciated their personal reflections in faith, as well asa commentary from Pope Francis on many of them. I am77 and thought it inspiring and I believe it would be foryounger people as well. A wonderful Christmas gift. DR

Uplifting
Uplifting and challenging. Got me thinking about my place in the universe and what more I can do for others. Loved it. Sent half a dozen as gifts. Ordering another today for my sister in law whose grandmother passed away today. This is a wonderful celebration of the elderly.

Worth the price for photographs alone
I happen to know the photographer who did the covers for this book, as well as some of the internal photographs. I highly recommend this item for the photographs alone. The five themes covered are of interest- whether one is Catholic or not.

Pages all stuck together
This is a Christmas gift for my elderly mother. The contents of the book look wonderful (as expected). Unfortunately, every single page was stuck together by something like glue. I went page by page to unstick carefully, but the pages are still ruined (see photo). Still going under the tree (instead of returning), as Christmas Eve is tonight. However, I am very disappointed with the quality from publisher.

This book will expand your understanding of humanity, your wisdom, and your love of humanity.
I LOVE this book. I dont think words can describe the depth and meaningfulness of this book. I never expected to discover such richness and dignity in the stories of strangers! All i can say is - strangers no more! Every person is a vessel of treasures.

It gave me courage to go forward joyfully.
In this time of the pandemic, the wisdom and courage of older individuals from around the world gave me courage - their stories encouraged me to go forward joyfully and grow in wisdom. Pope Francis' comments were so relevant and down to earth that I felt understood, happy, and proud of my Pope.
