The sub-title of this book, 'How to reach older people for Christ', tells us exactly what it is about. There is one helpful chapter of exhortation to older Christians; the rest is a challenge to evangelise senior citizens; about a third of the book being dramatic material for use either by or for the elderly.
The author is the director of Outlook Trust, founded in 1992, whose aim is to encourage gospel work among older people. The rise of such a para-church organisation suggests a perceived neglect in the normal life of local churches.
