Take My Hand Again: A Faith-Based Guide for Helping Aging Parents

Practical, humorous and faith-filled

Addressing the difficult decisions adult children face when roles change and they must intervene in a parent’s care, Take My Hand Again includes an overview of common care options and questions to ask--of professionals, of prospective care facilities, and of the aging adults themselves. Readers will find valuable insight into the challenges of the aging process as well as much-needed hope and encouragement.
