Forty Days Of Care For The Caregiver

Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter has stated: "There are only four kinds of people in this world: those who have been caregivers; those who currently are caregivers; those who will be caregivers; and those who will need caregivers." The physical, emotional, and economic im-plications of caregiving can be significant, and while state and national organizations reach out to address those needs, caregivers also have spiritual needs that may not be addressed so readily. Forty Days of Care for the Caregiver was written with the goal of addressing these spiritual needs while providing helpful information to the Christian caregiver. The reader will find forty daily devotionals, related Scripture refer-ences, and original prayer-poems on topics that include Taking Care of You, Being Content, Showing Your Love, Giving and Receiving, Resting and Sleeping, Finding Companionship, Overcoming Anger, Having Patience, Maintaining Dignity, Recharging Your Batteries, and Overcoming Obstacles. "From professionaltraining and personal experience comes an ex-tremely helpful book for caregivers. Trained as a specialist in services to special-needs students in the public schools and experienced as a family caregiver to her own mother, Vicki Gilliam is well qualified to write this book, and the reader will be well served by reading it. I whole-heartedly recommend it." -Dr. Dan R.
