()
About this ebook
Aging certainly has its problems. We lose lots of things like teeth, sight, hearing, knees, hips, and sleep to name a few. However, the costliest loss of all is our memory. Caregivers and family members must take the time to read When Camels Slide Down Doors... It will come to be your manual, your friend, your source of inspiration and encouragement. Your relationship with God and each family member will be enriched.
DR. HANS E. JOSEPHSEN, DMin, ThD, PhD. Christian Counselor
The Traders' seven-year journey through the many stages of caring for their elderly parents and their passage through dementia is a lesson in life, love, and faith. The narrative of Ann and Winston's story rivals the tellings of Philip Roth. When you infuse such a heartfelt tale with scriptural passages and the calling to ministry that Rick and Martha embody, you are presented with a rare and unique book that will change the way you view the challenges life presents. I heartily endorse When Camels Slide Down Doors

True to life, When Camels Slide Down Doors recounts the creative ways the authors overcame barriers without losing heart, their senses of humor, and most of all their faith in God. This excellent story will prepare readers for the progression through the disease process, as well as the spiritual growth that it fosters in those who care for these loved ones.
