Paul Rader

Paul Rader was born in southern Ohio, and was educated at Pikeville College, the Graduate School of Theology of Oral Roberts University, Union Theological Seminary, and Columbia Theological Seminary. His ministry has focused intensely on pastoral care, leading to the publication of Do Not Cast Me Away, in 2020, and an upcoming book, Do Not Forsake Me. Both encourage pastors and congregations to be involved in caring for those with dementia, and with dementia caregivers. Paul enjoys most things Appalachian, especially camping and backpacking, reading, cooking, and spending time with his wife, Linda, their three children, five grandchildren, and one furry dog.
