I have recently had the opportunity to read Billy Graham’s book Nearing Home: Life Faith and Finishing Well. This book struck me as outside of the box because it comes from the position of one who is understanding that they are at the end of their journey in life. Within this dark understanding of one’s plight Graham is able to bring about joyful hope and inspiration that even though one’s old age is beseeching upon one’s abilities one is still able to forge ahead in the kingdom of God. Graham develops ideas about how one might use the benefits of their old age, wisdom, knowledge, and experience in order to bless the lives of the people around them. I think this book is a must read for anyone at any age because it can motivate any person into spiritual action. A book that keeps the end in mind is very useful in today’s times and Billy Graham in Nearing Home has the knack of bringing everyone into his mind and perspective. Which shows that even though humanity may be weak and physically frail; God is strong and able to use us. I would highly recommend this book for anyone seriously thinking about working with elderly people or those who have no hope of being used by God.
