You'll Never Be Younger
By: William J. O'Malley
Overview
CATHOLIC PRESS ASSOCIATION BOOK AWARD! - FIRST PLACE, SPIRITUALITY
“Fr. O'Malley writes,’the clues in this book are meant to be a treasure map to rediscovering your own soul.’ In his unique, sometimes irreverent but always thoughtful way, he proves to be a great cartographer and a delightful read.”-- Msgr. Charles J. Fahey, Diocese of Syracuse, NY
“Father O'Malley shares the wisdom and wit of his lived experience and sprinkles them generously with insights from scripture, literature and contemporary culture."—Sister Janice Bader, CPPS
"It's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone." --Andy Rooney
Teacher, author, and octogenarian, Jesuit Bill O’Malley reminds us that Jesus told us “I come that you may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10). And, as Sophia Loren once observed, “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind—your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.”
Father O’Malley offers timeless wisdom that comes to and for those of a “certain age” including
- · Accepting the absurd with humor
- · Practicing curiosity and enchantment
- · Faith as confidence
- · The joy of imperfection
- · Embracing eternal life now
You’ll Never Be Younger brims with life, and with the battle scars, laughter, and holy optimism of one who has been there, done that—and knows.
William J. O’Malley, S.J., taught for many years and has published many award winning books on spirituality, including Holiness, Help My Unbelief, The Week That Opened Forever, and You’ll Never Be Younger.
