Hope for the caregiver : encouraging words to strengthen your spirit

A caregiver is a friend, neighbor, or family member who helps meet the special needs of others—without pay and often at great personal cost to their own career, finances, social life, and mental health. Hope for the Caregiver is a carefully crafted selection of devotions that reminds these givers that in their own moments of fatigue and discouragement God is present, providing a special measure of hope and strength to those who give so much to others. In addition to the devotions, there are short articles and tips to help caregivers maintain their own well-being. Foreword is by Ken Tada.
