“It’s Alzheimer’s–It’s Time for Extraordinary Love”

This booklet offers the people who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease a starting point for understanding and adjusting to its challenging realities. It’s written in everyday language to help people understand how the disease progresses, how family and friends can prepare to provide quality care, and how to approach the necessary legal and financial adjustments. Most importantly, it directs people to the hope and future that God promises through Jesus. Even with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, God’s Word assures us: nothing “in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:39)
