Nearing Home, by Billy Graham

I'm the first to admit that I'm not the target demographic for this book. I'm in my mid-twenties, whereas the book was written for those who are much older than me, and preparing to go to their heavenly home. However, I had never read a book by Billy Graham, and I thought it looked interesting.

While I'm not the target demographic, I still appreciate what Mr. Graham has to say. A lot of the subjects that he covers, such as living a life that matters, staying strong despite your circumstances, and most importantly, the hope of Heaven, are subjects that span all generations.

This book has also helped me to appreciate what is going on in the lives of the elderly people in my life. I’m ashamed to say that many people of my generation don’t stop to put themselves in another’s shoes, so to speak, and this book has helped me understand more of what happens as you age.

I did glean a few morsels from this book, and I believe that the demographic it is intended for will gain true peace, comfort, and perspective from it.
