Download or read book Take My Hand Again written by Brummett, Nancy Parker and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guide the author wishes she had when she took on a caretaker role.
By 2020, the senior population in this country will number over 115 million. Despite this persistent “graying” of America, few adult children feel prepared to take on the role of caregiver for aging parents. Those who discover they must now intervene and care for an elder they love are often at a loss. Trying to navigate the transition is like being dropped in a foreign country with no map, no GPS, and no translator—and acting as tour guide.
Nancy Parker Brummett knows what they’re going through and has the means to help. She shares her own experience of caring for a mother and mother-in-law in assisted living, as well as lessons learned through study of the academic, social, and political issues involved. Each chapter begins with relevant Scripture, but the useful information here is not limited to people of faith.
Take My Hand Again offers readers the warm feeling of having someone they trust stepping up to hold their hand and share encouragement and hope. Children of the aging don’t need a degree in gerontology; they just need for someone to ask the pertinent questions and give them an overview of the pros and cons of common options so they can make informed decisions. Whether they’ve already had their wake-up call or just want to be prepared for what’s to come, Brummett’s sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant book has just what they’re looking for.
Download or read book The Full Scoop on Bs written by Peter Duncan and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To truly be the full scoop instead of another load of BS, The Full Scoop on BS differentiates between types that are less or more harmful and reasonably explains why they differ. It examines the roots of that ubiquitous entity and the skill deficits which so often enable the worst kinds of BS. It provides a practical means of detection and eradication of the most-harmful types. In the process, this book promotes conscious, functional thought processes. Humour and anecdotes, and humorous anecdotes, help keep the normally academic concepts tangible, relevant and applicable to most peoples lives. Despite the profane aspect of the topic and the sometimes-profane vocabulary of the author, no profanity appears anywhere within. Polite society often condemns profanity even though many past societies were treacherous, murderous and none too polite. Such is the nature of a world filled with BS.

Download or read book Residential Satisfaction and Housing Policy Evolution written by Clinton Aigbavboa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores residential satisfaction and housing policy trends in developing nations by using subsidised low-income housing examples in South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria as case studies. While there has been much documentation on the formation of residential satisfaction and the evolution of housing policy in developed nations, relatively little has been written about these topics in developing nations. This book provides readers with two major practical insights: The first is focused on the theoretical underpinning of residential satisfaction and the formation of residential satisfaction in subsidised low-income housing through the development of a conceptual framework, while the second is focused on housing policy evolution and its trends in South Africa. In this section of the book, comparative overviews of public housing in two West African countries are provided with an emphasis on the philosophical basis for its development in these countries. The central aim of the book is to provide readers with ideas on residential satisfaction formation and housing policy trends in South Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It goes to the credit of Baba Ramdev that he has made the ancient Yoga and herbs relevant in the modern times. He is the harbinger of ancient wisdom in the present times, so it becomes necessary to look into his life and way of living, his thinking and his doctrine, and his way of working and way of conducting himself in public life, all of which have contributed to present him to the world like a brand: a brand everybody is after, a brand everybody adores and a brand that even multinational companies envy. We cannot know of the man that Baba Ramdev is without looking deeper into his mind, and this book is just a humble effort in that direction. In the coming pages, we shall explore different shades of his personality to trace the facts which have contributed to his making the national and international brand that he is today.
Download or read book What They Did For Love written by Editors of Reader's Digest and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-12-26 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful collection of stories that is at once heart-warming and heart-wrenching as writers offer stories of love in its many forms set against the challenges of modern life. Over the years Reader’s Digest has published stories of couples, families, friends, and even strangers that touch the heartstrings and show ordinary people reaching out and reaching deep within in the name of love. In “To Mend Her Husband’s Heart,” you’ll meet a woman so desperate to keep her husband of thirty-eight years alive, she researches medical literature and finds an experimental gene therapy that just may save his life. In an excerpt from “Rewrites,” Neil Simon tells the heart-wrenching story of his first wife’s battle with cancer and how, when he felt helpless to save her, he bought her the dream house by a lake they had imagined they would enjoy together in their twilight years. You’ll read inspiring marriage proposals from everyday people, stories of love lost and found, and famous love letters that speak to the incredible and lasting power of true love. You’ll meet Joe Hagan in “Red Dad, Blue Son,” who puts his love for his father above his closely held political beliefs; and a mom, Lynn Schnurnberger, (“The Power of Tatoos”) who goes to great lengths, including getting a tattoo, to stay connected with her teenage daughter. In “A Bagful of Dimes,” best-selling author Anne Lamott explains why she makes her son go to church with her. The power of love and forgiveness in friendship is portrayed in the story of Jacquelyn Mitchard and her lifelong friend who repair a falling out in “Friends Interrupted.” The loving bond between human and animal is depicted in the story of Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman (“Semper Fi”) who risks his life to save a dog from a warzone. Finally, in “Dear Superman,” you’ll read letters sent to Christopher Reeve and his family from complete strangers; and in “This Boy’s Life,” you’ll meet a teenage boy, whose generous decision to become an organ donor transforms the lives of scores of strangers. Delve into What They Did for Love and you’ll be moved, touched and inspired to follow your heart wherever it leads—around the world or maybe just around the corner.
