How to Remember the Power of the Gospel When Suffering from Alzheimer's Disease
“Whatever happens, God will never forget us. »
Many people will spend much of their retirement caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or will personally experience the effects of the disease. Through the stories of several people who experience this reality, Benjamin Mast shows us how it is possible to cling to the hope and power of the Gospel, despite the suffering and challenges linked to this illness. .
Drawing on the Bible's theme of remembrance and God's commitment to not forgetting His people, the author answers common questions about Alzheimer's disease, then explains its effects on personal identity and faith. It also gives several practical suggestions for how the Church can offer help and hope to families and victims of this debilitating disease.
Benjamin Mast (Ph.D.) is a licensed clinical psychologist. He teaches psychological and brain sciences and geriatric medicine at the University of Louisville. He also serves as an elder at Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, Kentucky.
