This book is a collection of five addresses that F.W. Boreham delivered on some major stages of life, and this is accompanied by 2 further essays in which the author develops the theme of life's milestones.

Throughout these pages one feels the sheer exuberance that Boreham had for life. He possesses a sense of wonder about the newness of each day.

His approach is to greet each day with expectancy and to make the momentous decisions with which life confronts us. F.W. Boreham claimed that the greatest day of a person's life was not their birthday, wedding anniversary or the date of their death but, "The greatest day in a man's life is the day on which he finds himself overwhelmed and bowed to earth by a sense of the greatness of God".
