A Glimpse Into “I AM 83”
From the Online Advert: “Ron Unruh celebrates his 83rd birthday with this new book - an invitation for seniors to pull up a chair, share a slice of cake, and reflect together on the journey of late life. He writes especially for those in their late sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties and beyond. Your life has been seasoned by decades of milestones, detours, joys and sorrows. At this stage, life is about meaning, memory, limitation, and unfinished possibility.
This book unfolds in three movements: Looking Back, Living Now, and Leaning Forward.
- Looking Back explores the value of remembering - reviewing our personal stories with honesty, gratitude, and insight, drawing out what the years have taught us.
- Living Now turns to the present, facing the challenges and opportunities of ageing with courage, faith, and a renewed sense of purpose, including the purpose of passing on wisdom to younger generations.
- Leaning Forward opens the door to the questions many of us carry quietly: death, what lies beyond, and the joy of God's presence.
Ron's aim is not simply to reminisce but to reassure, to embolden you and himself to live fully, wisely, and faithfully as we prepare for the life that begins after our final breath.
With candor, warmth and hope, Ron reminds us to live with eyes wide open, seeing the beauty of now, while glimpsing the glory of what is yet to come. “The book releases September 13 on Amazon—watch for the link here.”)
