With a key focus on praying with and for older people as well as spending time with them, in this book Ben Boland acknowledges that without relationship, good pastoral care is impossible. In Priceless People, Boland uses his experience as a chaplain to show how we can honour and respect older people whilst meeting their spiritual needs.

Ben has written a clear, wise, practical, theologically accurate and culturally sensitive book that I wish I had when I started ministering to older people and those living with dementia.
David Tyndall
Anglican Minister
Anyone taking worship to older people will find much good advice in this book to shape their services, aid their listening, and join in the ways God continues to enjoy us – however frail or confused we may become – and to cherish us throughout our lives.
Debbie Thrower
Founder and Pioneer of Anna Chaplaincy for Older People
Ben has written a valuable, accessible and practical book on ageing, dementia and pastoral care. It will be of immense help to those who work closely with older people ... It is a book that is thoroughly Jesus focused, as it honours the recipient of care and the caregiver.
Elizabeth MacKinlay
Director, Centre for Ageing and Pastoral Studies
An easy read and valuable ministry resource, which benefited us and we recommend for all Christians as it combines Ben’s experience, practical insights and obvious compassion for older people.
David and Maxine Cook
Presbyterian Church of Australia
Ben Boland has a real heart for people living with dementia and a genuine love for Jesus. In this book he brings both together in a way that is open, accessible and has the potential to help us care for one another more fully and more faithfully in the time of dementia. This is a lovely contribution to an important area of human life.
