Download or read book A Caregiver s Divine Choice written by Diana Bradshaw and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book is a biography that began in the pocket of Ruth by taking simple notes with pencil and paper, day or night, for seven years, discovering "100 peculiarities of Alzheimer's disease." Unlike other books on this subject, she prepares the caregiver for "What to expect next?" Each peculiarity illustrates the particular stage it occurred, and ways that help both patient and caregiver develop a good bond of friendship. You will learn her method of "Touch and Speak" when your patient is unmanageable to dress. Most of all you will grow in faith with a new inimitable love, which became a growing experience for Ruth and Naomi. She chose the biblical characters of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz for the many ways her book parallels the caring relationship during a crisis that occurs in the book of Ruth. Realizing the depth of depression that can happen, she addresses the Devil's goal to discourage believers and cause misery and doubt. Scriptures will encourage you while she takes you through many major decisions you may face until your patient's death. She has great empathy and admiration for caregivers since the majority of them never planned to be one. When your desires are to glorify our heavenly Father and His Son, and you find times when everything seems to go awry, it may be messengers of the Evil One, who do not want you to succeed. Be of good cheer. Jesus will lift your load and stand beside you all the way!

Download or read book Fearless Living and Loving written by John A. Love and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fearless Living and Loving guides readers through a journey of self-discovery. Its uplifting stories offer a new way to perceive the world, and its timeless lessons empower Christians to make positive, life-changing choices. As we endure hardships, questions arise. Has God given up on me? How can I gain more courage and strength? How can I find lasting inner peace? Fearless Living and Loving explores these concerns as it presents the transforming ministry of Christ in a way that everyone can understand. Jesus affirmed that, as our love grows, we are better equipped to overcome adversity. And as our faith grows, we are able to let go of worry and doubt. In times of sickness or decline, people want to feel safe and loved. In times of pain or distress, people seek to learn more about life’s meaning and purpose. And in times of loss or sadness, people strive to maintain hope. These existential truths are found in every part of the world. Yet, by inviting God’s love into our hearts, we can be ready for life’s biggest challenges. And by embracing the Light of Christ, we can live and love without fear.

Download or read book Formed Together written by Manager Keith Dow and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joy, pain, celebration, and grief are constant companions on the journey of caregiving. While remaining detached might seem the preferable option, it is not possible to disentangle the threads of our interwoven stories. Our lives are shaped by each other. We are transformed by our encounters. In Formed Together, Keith Dow explores the questions of why we should, and why we do, care for one another. He considers what it means for human beings to be interdependent, created in the image of a loving God. Dow recounts personal experiences of supporting people with intellectual disabilities while drawing upon theological and philosophical sources to discover the ethical underpinnings of Christian care. Formed Together reveals that human beings care for one another not merely by choice, but because every person relies upon others. People are called together in mutually formative practices of care, and human flourishing means learning to care well. Dow suggests five virtues that mark ethical caregiving, such as humble courage and quiet attentiveness. These practices can help guide caregivers in responding to the divine call to care. Dow demonstrates that ethical practices of care do not depend upon intelligence or rational ability. Many are called to the vocation of tending to and being present in the needs of others. To be formed together in the divine image means that caregivers never entirely comprehend themselves, others, or God. Rather, caring well means that humans are to accompany one another in and through experiences of profound mystery and revelation. --Thomas Reynolds, Associate Professor of Theology at Emmanuel College, Toronto School of Theology, University of Toronto

Download or read book Realizing Our Divinity written by Curtis A. Vigness and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changes we need today must begin with a realization, an understanding of our truest existence. Throughout the course of humanity, we have been misguided by a false sense of who we are. This misunderstanding is the root of all the perceived problems we endure as individuals, as well as on a global level. The issues we have in our personal lives, the struggles we face in our relationships, the economic hardships we encounter; and all the global dilemmas, the violence, the greed, the hatred, all originate from this misperception of who we all are. The reason this is not better known is because we have all been deceived in the way we have been taught to interpret the world. We have been led to believe in a life of separateness and in an existence that simply isnt real. We need to examine what we each believe to be the most fundamental truths about life. When we begin to explore, deep within ourselves, the mystery of life will reveal itself to us. The challenges we face and the hardships we endure will not dissipate until we realize the truth. When you are ready to make real, lasting change in your life, you must begin by taking responsibility for it all. By becoming the change you wish to see, you will realize the truth about life.
