Here are three of many ringing endorsements of the book:

‘This book engages with one of the big challenges of our time: how to care for and include those who struggle with dementia. It provides practical examples of how the needs of those living with dementia can and are being met, and advice about working with those who care for them as well as their families. Wendy and Frances record for us many examples of how these needs can be engaged with, and how a willingness to go on learning is the foundation for everything that is done in the name of Christ in this area of ministry. I hope and pray that many will read this book, and find the resources they need to go on caring courageously.’

Phil Dykes, Winchester Diocese.

‘Having known Wendy and Frances for several years, it has been a pleasure to read their excellent, well-researched book and available resources, explaining factors and pressures affecting dementia, and how faith can become more real and churches play an important role in this.’

Jennifer Bute, author of Dementia from the Inside

‘Wonderful. May this book bless many people who are struggling to understand the sacred pilgrimage of dementia.’
