HELP FOR THE CAREGIVER

Here are forty daily devotionals, related Scripture passages, and Jesus-modeled prayers for the crises that are sure to occur while caregiving., Integrated into these devotionals are facts and tips for caregivers from numerous national and state caregiver resources so they will be informational as well as inspirational. Our prayer is that, as you study these pages, you will find or renew the faith, hope, and love so necessary in the life and heart of a very special person--a caregiver.

As you complete these forty days of care and prayer, you will be more spiritually prepared to realize the joys and to deal with the challenges that come from caregiving.

_"I cannot express the perfect timing of this book. As my husband Benny and I care for my almost 97-year-old father, I have needed every days' Crisis Care encouragement, advice, Scriptures, and prayers. I have especially appreciated them because of my own immune-compromising illnesses that make caring more difficult." --_Dr. Sharon Gresham, Founder/Director, Ashes to Crowns Ministries, Burleson, Texas; Resident Fellow and Coordinator of the Carroll Prayer Network (CPN) at B.H. Carroll Theological Institute, Irving, Texas

"From the first paragraph of Crisis Care Crisis Prayer: Forty Days of Care and Prayer for the Caregiver, Dr. Gilliam and Dr. Crawford have captured the essence of the caregiver's needs. For thirteen years I watched as my wonderful wife, Dixie, disappeared behind dementia's devastating cloud. Each day took her further away. I encourage caregivers and future caregivers to give God the opportunity to speak to you of His presence through this organized and spiritually prepared book." --Carroll D. Duke, Chief of Police, Retired, Gatesville, Texas
