What we like best about this book:

This book is a rare find, offering spiritual guidance and advice for spiritual leaders, congregations, families and patients.

There are many caregiver and professional guides that provide excellent advice on dementia, however, there are few written for the very people we seek for help of a spiritual nature on this topic. In that regard A Guide to Ministering to Alzheimer’s Patients and Families is excellent. The wisdom conveyed combines compassion and theological expertise with a knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease. Topics include ethical issues, spiritual needs, guilt, grief, and much more.

There is no better book for pastors, priests, chaplains, pastoral counselors,church leaders, healthcare professionals, seminary students or anyone helping families in this difficult time of need.
