Will You Speak the Gospel to Me?

About this book

Will You Speak the Gospel to Me? is a twenty-one-day devotional written to loved ones and their caregivers. This idea has been birthed through the personal experience of caregiving for my mom, who has Alzheimer's. Several years ago, as her disease progressed, I realized she no longer had the ability to encourage herself through God's word. As a family, it became evident that we must step up and speak the gospel to her as often as possible. This devotional is a daughter's desire to encourage others in similar situations to set aside daily time to speak the gospel to ourselves, as caregivers and the ones we care for. This devotional is written to anyone struggling with a chronic health issue and those who lovingly care for them.How we view God in this journey changes everything. Gentle reminders of God's character and purpose for our life gives us an outlook that is encouraging and brings us peace, but it also reminds us there is something bigger and greater going on. And the best is yet to come. As you read through each daily devotion, it is our prayer that you will see God in a new light or your spirit will be refreshed as you understand how He works in and through your diagnosis and or fatigue.Bonus: Included in this book is a Dementia Caregiver Survival Guide written to give you tools to be the best caregiver possible. There are lists of steps to take if you have recently been diagnosed, tips, and safeguards for all kinds of situations including self-care for the caregiver and avoiding burnout. Additional topics we will discuss are family caregiving expectations, choosing a care community that fits your needs, and questions to ask when choosing. The survival guide is packed full of tried-and-true tips and ways to think through situations. If you have cared for someone with dementia, you know you cannot outthink what will happen next, but being prepared or having a mindset of understanding equips you for less stress and a calmer environment.
