Story
It turns out giving up your "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out of it. But what if Christians were the most unoffendable people on the planet?

Providing dementia care is profoundly stressful for families and caregivers. People with dementia or Alzheimer’s experience emotional distress, which leads to behavioral complications and the need for institutional care. However, if families and caregivers are able to identify the emotional needs caused by dementia and understand which skills are lost and which remain, they can lower the behavioral complications and their own stress.

"A long and happy marriage." It sounds like the end of a fairy tale - an illusion that modern times have exposed. And it is, if marriage depends on a constant stream of romantic emotion, or even on copious amounts of time or money. Thank the Lord, none of those are necessary. Two thousand years ago, Paul gave women the key to a successful marriage, and it can be summed up in two words: unconditional respect. It's not popular. It doesn't sound fair. It can be hard to imagine. But it works. Nina Roesner has led countless women through this practical and life-changing journey, and in The Respect Dare she offers you the hope that so many others have found. Day by day, true stories and thought-provoking questions will help you apply biblical wisdom to the most important relationship in your life.

Story
Children today live in an unpredictable, disruptive, and often violent world. Many of them live in two different homes with different sets of expectations. They face bullying at school and online. They hear news of school shootings, and racially or religiously motivated violence. They may have lost a friend or a loved one. As parents, the impulse to protect our children is strong, but that very protection can end up handicapping them for life. Rather than seek to save them from the hard things, parents must teach their kids how to cope with and rise above their problems.

Story
Almost any parent you asked would tell you that they want their children to be happy, successful adults. But many of us forget (or never knew to begin with) that lasting personal joy is not necessarily found the way the world says it is - through reaching a certain socioeconomic status, having a certain job, buying a certain house, or having a certain amount in one's bank account. In fact, says Kristen Welch, author of Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, personal satisfaction comes not from grabbing onto things but from holding them with an open hand and, very often, giving them away.

Are you busier than you want to be? Than you need to be? Than you are meant to be? It's time to break busy. We are all spread too thin, taking on more than we can handle, trying to do so much - almost as if we are afraid that if we were to take a moment of rest, we might discover that all our busyness is covering up an essential lack in our lives. But God never meant for us to be so busy. God desires for us peace.

It's not a surprise that our fast-paced, overly analytical culture is pushing people - especially women - to spend countless hours thinking about negative ideas, feelings, and experiences. Renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema calls this "overthinking". Her groundbreaking research shows that an increasing number of women - more than half of those in her extensive study - are doing it too much and too often, hindering their ability to lead a satisfying life.

A tender reminder of God's grace and our blessings
As I help my faith-filled, sweet 99 year old Daddy this book reminds me of the blessing and honor I have at this time in both of our lives. My Dad is amazing and until two months ago was living independently. Things are changing now and his needs are increasing. This time is precious and although challenging at times in respect to keeping all the balls in the air with an already busy schedule, this book serves as a keen reminder of where our strength comes and the endless provisions God graciously gives freely if we ask. This time is precious and this sweet book reminds us of the honor and privilege we are provided in caring for the parents who have cared for us throughout our lives...it is our season now to reverse the roles with the grace God provides for us all.

Tremendously helpful, wish I had read it 5 years ago
This book provided me with a sense of direction in caring for my parents and an understanding of what we are all experiencing as my parents age. I loved that the author shared her personal experience and the details of her struggles with her parents, her siblings and feelings of guilt and selfishness.
I am in my 30s and have parents who aged young due to a massive stroke for my dad and Parkinson’s with my mom. None of my friends are in this stage yet, so it has been so difficult to navigate. My sister and I have been so overwhelmed by countless emergencies and hospital stays. This book helped me see how we have denied the state of decline of our parents and also helped me understand why they are sometimes so grouchy and demanding. They were not like that before and it has been hard to have grace. My sister and I both have young kids at home still, so we are in a different stage than the author, but I still found her experience to be helpful.The resources mentioned by the author are what my sister and I need, so I ordered the paper copy of the book for reference and to be able to go back and complete the grace growers exercise. I recommend this book to anyone struggling with caring for their aging parents.

I found this book to be so comforting & realative.
I helped my dad, along with my sisters, care for my upper middle aged mom during her battle with cancer. I found the book to be so insightful & comforting when I needed the Godly support. I recommend this book.

What a Suprise
I ordered this book based on the title and description from my smart phone. My smartphone view doesn't show that this book is produced by Focus on the Family. I have serious political and theological differences with the organization. Had I known it was a FOF book, I absolutely would not have purchased it. I AM GLAD that I didn't know! This book is exactly what I needed. It so very accurately covers the feelings, experiences, trials and, tribulations of the Baby Boomer caregiver in a way that no other resource I have been exposed to has over the 5 years I have been responsible for my disabled 88 year old mother. And it provides support and answers for people of faith who are looking for an authentically Christian way to approach the problems, turmoil, guilt and opportunities that come with caring for an elderly parent. After listening to this book I no longer feel as if I am imagining what is happening, guilty, or unique in my feelings or experiences . In fact I feel quite relieved and able to access a gracefully Christian framework for dealing with the overload of caregiving.

Just what I needed
I highly recommend this book to any caregiver in any stage in the caregiving season. We are a unique group of individuals who only truly understand each other's sacrifices as we navigate through this season. The experiences expressed in this book provide a wonderful navigational map. I found myself laughing or crying at times which has helped me move through my sorrows and joys of the season. Most of all it helped me take my own inventory and bring a renewed perspective into my caregiving relationship with my mother. This book offers a wonderful renewal opportunity for anyone who feels trapped or burnt out from being a caregiver.
