Honoring Dependent ParentsBillThis is a deeper treatment than most on what it means for Christians to honour their ageing parents. It is penetrating, thorough, theological, practical, and compassionate. The book has a spiritual and pastoral angle, recognising that this is a stressful time for carers as well as those being cared for. It's broken into three sections: one addressing the principles behind the subject (the why); the second addressing aspects of care (the how); and the third which looks at how the church can help. As one acquainted with honouring dependent parents, I can honestly say that this is the best popular-level book on this subject that I've read!

She explores the emotional side of caring (helping us to handle the roller-coaster of our parents' emotions as well as our own) and offers helpful ways to communicate as effectively as possible with our parents. I would recommend this book to anyone who is feeling somewhat uncertain, under-prepared, or even daunted at caring for ageing parents.
