Author John Murray Reviews my Book, 'I AM 83'

A REVIEW: John Murray, himself an author, wrote this about my book ‘I AM 83’.

“Just finished your book this morning. Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for it. Thanks so much for taking the time, the effort and the determination to research and write this book. It is informative, motivational, comforting but challenging and a wake-up call for seniors. It is pretty comprehensive. In fact I can't think of any other aspect of life in our latter years which you don't cover. Thanks again Ron.”

John has written, “It’s All About Love,” subtitled ‘Confessions of a Caregiver.’ His wife Rita recently passed away after a 17-year struggle with Parkinsons. John provided personal care to her through all those years.

AMAZON: I AM 83 by Ron Unruh

BOOK LAUNCH DAY AND MY 83RD BIRTHDAY

Today, September 13, 2025, is A DAY OF DOUBLE CELEBRATION — my 83rd birthday and the official launch of my newest book, I AM 83.

I’m delighted to share that the book is now available on [Amazon.ca] and [Amazon.com] in three formats: Paperback, Kindle eBook, and Hardcover. Whether for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for someone you love, this book is meant to inspire reflection, conversation, and hope.
Even though my age and the book’s title align, I AM 83 is not about me.
Rather, its 277 pages are written for seniors from 65 to 90 plus, with whom I share this stage of life. This is my invitation to pull up a chair, enjoy a slice of cake, and reflect together on the journey of late life. Our lives are seasoned by decades of milestones, detours, joys, and sorrows. At this stage, life is about meaning, memory, limitation, and the possibilities that remain unfinished.
With candor, warmth and hope, I seek to remind us to live with eyes wide open, seeing the beauty of now, while glimpsing the glory of what is yet to come.

Please consider purchasing a copy for yourself of gifting one to a parent or grandparent or friend. Thank you for your interest and support and for celebrating this milestone with me!

'I AM 83' MY NEWEST BOOK & THIS ONE IS FOR SENIORS

I AM 83. This book of 277 pages is close to my heart because I am living it and I am learning so much. 

This is my book for seniors, from 65 to 90 plus. I am excited to share it with you on September 13, my birthday, because I know you want to continue to learn, grow, thrive and help others. Knowing me, it comes as no surprise that the element of faith is a foundational emphasis as my writing unfolds.

A GLIMPSE INTO 'I AM 83'.

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.”)
