Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia is written by a Christian doctor, and is intended for you if you think you could one day be caring for someone with dementia or if you fear the possibility of one day having dementia. Through stories from his medical practice and from a Biblical worldview, Dr. John Dunlop provides the knowledge you need to be calm and full of faith as you contemplate and possibly one day face this topic.

Topics Include

• Recognizing symptoms and responding well in the early stages
• Being sensitive with diagnosis (it’s important to be handled on a case-by-case basis)
• Honoring those who are afflicted
• Seeing God’s purposes in dementia
• Honoring God through dementia
• Being called to be a caregiver, and caregiving options
• Learning to care for and love well those with dementia
• Planning wisely and respectfully for the way that dementia progresses
• Protecting those with dementia and their families
• Managing end-of-life requests
• Sustaining a relationship with the Lord while living with dementia
• The role of the church and dementia
• The spiritual growth opportunities that come with dementia

What Next?

• Create and foster an atmosphere in your family that highly regards the elderly and moves in close to anyone experiencing dementia.
• Check out John Dunlop’s several books on later seasons of life. It’s refreshing to read books about physical health written by an MD who is so devoted to Christ.
• Especially consider the relationship you have with Jesus now compared to what you hope it will look like in your older years. Investing now is wise.
