A Caregiver’s Heart, Hands, and Health

By Dorothy J. McDaniel

This book is written to encourage caregivers, whether they serve at home or in institutions. They should be encouraged that their roles are vitally important to others. In this book, we discuss the plight of all caregivers and the woes and rewards of being a caregiver. Caregiving is a ministry ordained by God. Caregivers are unsung heroes who often put their dreams, goals, and aspirations on hold to care for others, which ultimately affects their hands, heart, and health.

My personal testimony is shared here, telling of how caregiving affected my hands, my heart, and my health.
