DOWNLOAD EBOOKBy creatively using humor and life experiences, this book will exhort and encourage you to spend time with the Lord and listen to His voice (heartbeat). After 36 years of teaching, playing sports and several pets, Linda uses powerful examples of God teaching her His Word and conversations they shared. Chapter titles like, "World's Fastest Brake Foot", God's One-Liners", "You Can't Pull A Goat", and "God Uses Sump Pumps and Burning Bushes" will peak your curiosity. It is important to know what the Bible says and so scripture is used throughout. This book not only entertains but is a teaching tool. Linda grew up in Michigan where she enjoyed church activities and sports. In high school, she was a member of the National Honor Society and graduated in the Top Ten of her class. She graduated from Huntington College in Huntington Indiana in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education. Before retiring in 2010, she taught school for 36 years with the last 13 being in juvenile corrections. In 2005 she finished her Master of Arts in Biblical Studies. The Lord has used Linda as an educator, exhorter, and encourager while ministering in church services, Sunday school, and women's ministries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere Is Hope . . . When a patient is diagnosed with dementia, it impacts not only the patient but also those who care for them. It can be devastating to watch loved ones lose the independence, personality, and abilities that once defined them, knowing there is no cure. How should Christians respond to a diagnosis of dementia? Experienced geriatrician Dr. John Dunlop wants to transform the way we view dementia—showing us how God can be honored through such a tragedy as we respect the inherent dignity of all humans made in the image of God. Sharing stories from decades of experience with dementia patients, Dunlop provides readers, particularly caregivers, with a biblical lens through which to understand the experience and challenge of this life-altering disease. Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia will help you see God's purposes as you love and care for those with dementia.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith more than 5 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer's disease and nearly 10 million loved ones caring for them, addressing the concerns of these elders and their caregivers is a matter of increasing importance. Relying on their many years of experience in this area, Jane Thibault and Richard Morgan offer this book to provide a fresh, hopeful model of dealing with life and death in the realm of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Caregivers have two basic needs: affirmation that caregiving is not in vain and reassurance that the lives of those for whom they care are not being lived in vain. Care receivers need more than medical attention; they need tender care, involvement in the community, and a sense of connection with a loving God. When patient and caregiver regard this shared experience as a "mutual spiritual path," each plays a role in deepening the spiritual life of the other. No Act of Love Is Ever Wasted is an excellent resource for individuals caring for loved ones as well as for counselors, support group leaders, pastors, and other professionals. In addition to offering practical ways to help, this book serves as a reminder that every act of love brings positive transformation to the recipient, to the giver, and to the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA "courageous and singular book" (Andrew Solomon), Memory's Last Breath is an unsparing, beautifully written memoir -- "an intimate, revealing account of living with dementia" (Shelf Awareness). Based on the "field notes" she keeps in her journal, Memory's Last Breath is Gerda Saunders' astonishing window into a life distorted by dementia. She writes about shopping trips cut short by unintentional shoplifting, car journeys derailed when she loses her bearings, and the embarrassment of forgetting what she has just said to a room of colleagues. Coping with the complications of losing short-term memory, Saunders, a former university professor, nonetheless embarks on a personal investigation of the brain and its mysteries, examining science and literature, and immersing herself in vivid memories of her childhood in South Africa. "For anyone facing dementia, [Saunders'] words are truly enlightening . . . Inspiring lessons about living and thriving with dementia." -- Maria Shriver, NBC's Today Show
