God's fifth commandment states, Honor your father and mother. This commandment is not only addressed to children to honor their parents, but also to adults now called to care for their parents. In her book, Diary of a Mad Caregiver, Rebecca Collins shares her journey of caring for her mother. It is one to which many will relate. Collins opens her heart to share the greatest joys and struggles of caring for her aged mother. The Collins' new home, their desired haven, would be in God's providence a place that would touch many lives as well as their own. Your life will be touched as well. It's a Diary of trusting in God's providence, confessing deep heart issues, letting the fiery trials purify us so that our faith would be pure like gold, seeking to be a servant, living unselfishly and harmoniously with family, and looking forward to our eternal haven. The reader will gain a new appreciation of the madness that comes with caregiving. But the reader will see hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Only through the Gospel can one love with such self-denial. If you are not caring for a loved-one now, you might be soon. This book provides the preparation or encouragement that you will need to accomplish this task. May the reader be blessed and God be praised! --Bill Schakat, Pastor of Redeemer Baptist Church and is obtaining his Master of Divinity Degree at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Rebecca Collin s new book is titled Dairy of a Mad Caregiver. It is full of encouragement for caregivers. Rebecca says, Family care giving has been a large part of my life since childhood. I learned firsthand to have great respect for life and for the aged as I watched my middle-aged mother take care of the hourly needs of my sick grandmother, who occupied my bedroom. After her death, I watched again as my mother and daddy lifted and cared for my grandfather and an uncle in our home. I didn t realize it at the time, but God was preparing my heart to be a caregiver for my father-in-law and later for my dear mother. The Book Nook at 115 Cleveland Street in Blairsville, Georgia recently hosted a book signing for Rebecca Collins. Guests enjoyed refreshments, fellowship, and conversation with the author. --Janice Boling of the North Georgia Newspaper October 2010 Diary of a Mad Caregiver? What you may ask is this about?
