The Age of Innocence is about the author's life from age 3 to 12. He uses clips of events during that age to reflect on their meaning and what can be learned from them. Events are our memory. Innocence is instinctive, innate, spontaneous; less intuitive, less considered, less deliberate. Life is a big bundle of little things, little events. The diverse events in the universe of life serve a definite purpose. They are not accidental. Life has a higher design, the age of innocence is one place we can find some of that purpose; the ages of discovery, restlessness, and brooding will complete the...

The Age of Discovery is about the author's life from age 13 to 16. He uses strips of scenes during that age to reflect on their meaning and what can be learned from them. The past is our memory. Can you imagine losing your memory? Discvery is intuitive, deliberate, more cautious, prudent, considered. The innocent abandonment, the childlike disregard of judgement suddenly cannot take root. One simply cannot ignore it. Life is a big bundle of little things, little episodes. The diverse events in the universe of life serve a definite purpose. They are not accidental. Life has a higher design,...

The Age of Restlessness shares the author's experiences and thoughts when he was seventeen until his twenty-first year. It was a time he reached out of adolescence, a time when he would be in his own man, a time that was a springboard to adulthood. Considerations during this period - about life, its purpose, meaning, and the things that must come to pass - lent content to this book. His two years in pre-university wraps up his time in formal education that was necessary to secure a place in university if he so decided on that route; another two and a half years in National Service was a...

Age of Brooding for the author was a period of questioning about his new found Christian faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, not as in a first person physical encounter yet as good as one. In a sense, brooding is maturing something with care, where maturing is much like dwelling solicitously over a matter, a subject under consideration, and in the author's case, his engagement in the Christian faith, when he followed Jesus Christ. With that conviction and the follow-on commitment, he took upon himself the unknown relationship challenges from all those about him - his parents, less of his...
