This book has been born out of personal experience and the reality of living daily with chronic illness. As a Christian the author is challenged by the commandment “Respect your father and mother” (Exodus 20.12), and sets out ways in which we can do so in our present culture. As a doctor, Emily Ackerman is familiar with the family problems arising from our changing culture and she is sensitive to the needs of the elderly.
The chapters have simple and informative headings, so it is possible to dip into it for immediate problems that arise, as well as being an informative and interesting read. The style is easy and encouraging. It is a good resource and is helpful in the way it presents the predicaments of the young and the elderly. It facilitates their understanding of each other. The book is steeped in love and prayer. Gently and firmly Dr. Ackerman enables the reader to face reality and illustrates how various people have found a valued solution to their problems. This book would help those counselling or advising Carers. It is a book to read at whatever stage of life, for it increases understanding.You are reading Issue 51 of Ministry Today, published in March 2011.
