People in the Bible lived well into their hundreds, but the oldest known woman in the world today is 115. What are we doing wrong?

 ‘Remember David’s words of wisdom: ‘All the days ordained for me [are] written in your book’ (Psalm 139:16).  Some of us may have a three-volume tome on God’s shelf, others a simple paperback.  Let’s take courage and comfort from knowing that however numerous our days, they are all safely in God’s hands,’ says Jenny Sanders.

Until very recently, the oldest woman in the world was a Brazilian nun, who lived for an astonishing 116 years.  She passed away at the end of April leaving the new record for women’s longevity to a British woman.
