The stories in Dear Caregiver: Take a Moment and Walk with Me are based on my personal experiences with Katherine, a woman in her seventies, who lives with the physical and mental disabilities caused by Lewy Body Dementia. During a five-year time period as her caregiver, I recorded each treasured moment within twenty-four hours after each event occurred. Katherines words and expressions remain fresh in my mind despite the passing of the years. As a new, part-time caregiver for my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimers nearly three years ago, Take a Moment and Walk with Me is a true blessing and inspiration. This book of devotions is an excellent guide for anyone who is taking this journey for the first time.

Let these words and Bible verses give you peace, encouragement, and strength. -Janet Sisko- My mom has lived with us for 14 years and her mind has been failing her for the past three. As I read Karens devotional, I first realized how every day is written so well that you feel like you are right there with them. Many situations are very similar to what I face with my mom. I am so amazed at how compassionate Karen is and how she has such a sense of how Katherine thinks and feels. She also gives caregivers practical ways to assist and care for our loved ones. This devotional is very helpful and inspirational for any caregiver and the Bible verses give us a glimpse of God in any situation. -Linda Corner-

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
