Hearing about the decline into Alzheimer's Disease from the person suffering from the illness is very enlightening. This book is easy to read and very informative. You won't be left untouched as you walk on this journey with the author.

This is a beautifully written, though tragic, account of a wonderful man of God who contracted Alzheimer's disease. I knew the author and his wife personally before the events of this book took place, and I'm thrilled to have the account of their final trials and victories.

Paving the Way for Other Alzheimer's Caregivers by Edna H. Love (Sebring, Florida)

It is rare that someone would dare to face their own devastating terminal illness, in this case, Alzheimer's Disease, with such clarity and insightfulness. As a caregiver to my husband, a United Methodist pastor, who is in the mid-statges of this disease, this book was immeasurably enlightning and helpful in understanding some of what is happening in his mind. It has also helped me to better know how to minister to him and to now how to deal with this ongoing degeneration of what was a bright mind. Robert Davis' faith and ultimate trust, especially his sharing of how he made peace with the disease, has proved to be a great help to me, as I know it will be to others. I might note that my husband also read the book and found it helpful. Many thanks to Rev. Davis! Edna H. Love United Methodist Pastor (retired)

`Since I am new to Alzheimer Care Giver' by Janice Nicks (Tulsa, Okla)

I am the care giver for my husband of 57 years, and have nothing to compare what I am going through so this is really helpful. One thing that I would find helpful is how prevelent some of the symptoms are. I am doing what he want to do, it is his life and his house and who am I to tell him how to feel. I appreciate hearing the things other care givers have experienced.

I thought this was about Alzheimer's....... by T. Rogers (New Jersey)

I bought this book because I thought it would be a personal account of the signs and symptoms of early stage Alzheimer's. I read another called Living in the Labyrinth and found it fascinating, and I highly recommend that book to anyone interested in or having a personal experience with this horrible disease. Robert Davis' book, on the other hand, was more like a 140 page sermon full of praise for the Lord that bestowed this disease on him, bible quotations, and not much else. Let me say here that I am a nurse who has worked with these special patients for more than 10 years, and I was looking for more insight into the mind of someone who could still put their thoughts on paper. Guess I just like the cold, hard facts without all the fluff.
