ISBN 978-1-84550-302-4
Here is an excellent primer for those who may have to care for an elderly parent.
From her own experience of providing a secure and loving environment for her father-in-law in the last 18 months before he died, Ann Benton furnishes us with down-to-earth, biblically-rooted, practical advice. The book is raw and realistic — no platitudes here, no greasy and slick answers, just a reminder of a job to be done and how to do it well, and the personal struggles and cost involved.
