There are 65.7 million caregivers in America, making up 29 percent of the U.S. adult population. Where does the caregiver turn when dealing with their own need for encouragement and renewal?
I discovered this book shortly after my husband's ALS diagnosis. It's filled with a treasure trove of practical and spiritual insight, memorable quotes, and relevant Scripture. Peter has a down-to-earth style that's very relatable. He embraces honesty, offering his own experience and faith as a light for any caregiver trying to find their way. I am rereading this book eight years into my caregiver journey for a fresh shot of encouragement. I highly recommend this book to any caregiver who wishes to walk in the footsteps of a wise, battle-tested, faith-filled role model.
Hope for the Caregiver weaves Peter and Gracie Rosenberger’s lengthy caregiving story through the use of brief devotions with practical and easy-to-understand suggestions, encouragement, and humor. The book begins with “The Caregiver’s Prayer,” based on the principles of “The Serenity Prayer.” Each chapter in its four sections of head, emotions, lifestyle, and planning includes related quotes and Bible verses. Hope for the Caregiver concludes with a review of tips Peter calls the 1-2-30 Plan for Caregivers: H-E-L-P M-E Plan.
