This book puts dementia into a Christian context, insisting that loss of memory or reason does not mean a person is worthless. Dementia is in the headlines on a daily basis. Much information is available but it is all factual with no spiritual content. Yet for Christians, dementia can raise questions unlike any other condition. Why does a godly old man begin to use language that has always been anathema to him? Why does a loving mother become stubborn, and suspicious? Where is God in all of this? This book offers information and reassurance gleaned from the extensive experience of Pilgrim Homes, a network of nine Christian care homes and a foundation going back to 1807.

When I picked up this book I expected to find lots of useful information: unexpectedly, I also found parts of it deeply moving. The authors write from a background of extensive experience in caring for the elderly. The helpful facts about dementia are spread throughout the book and include how to prepare if you are diagnosed with dementia yourself, ways of helping sufferers and carers, and coping in the community. I loved the chapter called 'What's happening to grandma?' which gives advice on helping children to cope with a family member's dementia. There is a powerful Christian theme underlying the whole book: ' losing your mind does not mean losing your soul.' The moving testimonies to this fact run through the pages like a string of pearls. Don't miss this powerful and poignant book.
