Everything You Need to Know While Caregiving

           
                  Jane Daly realizes how bittersweet caring for our aging parents can be.  She expresses this well in the account of experiences she had in caring for her family.  The Caregiving Season, Finding Grace to Honor Your Aging Parents offers sound advice, support and consolation for those enduring the same.  Her choice of scripture brings encouragement.  Having been through this stage of Life I concur that many times our emotions feel like they are on a roller coaster.  The Author is sensitive in preparing us for the worst.  Jane Daly's book is a true gift for all caregivers.  She also shares how to find time to take care of ourselves.
I highly recommend.
I was honored to read this book for the Tyndale Bloggers in exchange for my thoughts.

Jessie Minassian's "Unashamed" Helps Young People Break The Silence

                  Unashamed 'Overcoming the Sins No Girl Wants to Talk About' by Jessie Minassian is a tremendous asset for young women today.  This knowledgeable book will help individuals understand that they are not alone and need not isolate. Young people no longer need to suffer in silence.  The most wonderful news is that there is hope.  The author helps the reader find the spiritual tools to break from bondage and free herself of self-hate, anorexia, cutting and other disturbing practices that become addictions.  Ms. Minassian makes a sensitive approach on dealing with those things that what otherwise beset us.  I was given the tremendous opportunity to read and review this book for the Tyndale Blog Network.  

When Happily Ever After Shatters

Sue Birdseye bravely tackles the sensitive subject of divorce among Christians.  Still today, divorce is frowned upon in many denominations so the subjects involved feel that much more alone and heartbroken.  I can relate to her pain and determination to rely on God's help after experiencing one of the most devastating occurances in life.  The deep hurt of adultery and abandonment drew the author closer to her Faith while so many in the world tend to become bitter at God and resent him for their misfortune.  Her mature spiritual understanding allows her to realize that this was not God's will but her spouse's choice and that God feels our deep sorrow.  Ms. Birdseye shares with us the many phases of her grief from trying to hide her feelings from others and finding joy in the new found confidence of being independent.  Her journey can help many others know that they are not alone and that they too will heal and better days are ahead.  It's a wonderfully written book which I was given the opportunity to read from Tyndale network.  I only wish this book had been available years ago when I was going through the same.  I highly recommend the book as well as what the author is conveying '"Never Give Up"'.
