Courage for Caregivers

Sustenance for the Journey in Company with Henri J. M. Nouwen

About this book

Drawing on the writings and wisdom of Henri J. M. Nouwen's themes of caregiving, Marjorie J. Thompson offers a vulnerable exploration of caregiving intertwined with both her own many years of intimate caregiving of family members and collected stories of caregivers in varied settings and stages of life. While not shying away from the demanding physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of caregiving,Ā  Courage for CaregiversĀ also celebrates the gifts of caregiving grounded in the belovedness both caregiver and care receiver share in God's eyes.

Practical leader guides and resources makeĀ  Courage for CaregiversĀ a tool that moves smoothly from individual encouragement to group and congregational ministry to develop support for the universal experience of caregiving.Ā
