“There are no owner’s manuals for people who are caregivers when you deal with Alzheimer’s. This book is one of those attempts. This book is so detailed in its emotion, and its care and compassion. Know if you are a caregiver, or know someone who is dealing with Alzheimer’s, you are not alone. Cheryl has been there.”–Craig O’Neill (Lead Anchor, KTHV-11 CBS, Little Rock, Arkansas) (to see live interview, click here)

“I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been touched by a friend or loved one’s experience with Alzheimer’s disease. This book is a journey of one my church members: a daughter who relied upon her relationship with Jesus to care for her parents, being an instrument of the grace her Savior extended to her. In Chapter 5, Knapp asks: “Do you believe that God can be trusted with the details of whatever you’re facing?” This book is filled with Scriptures, prayers and personal experiences that reveal God can be trusted to accompany us through life’s storms. The book will benefit those in need of encouragement, tips for caregiving or simply the courage to face their personal fears and failures. While Knapp offers an incredible gift to reflect upon and integrate her unique experiences in caring for her mother, the power for God’s glory revealed in her personal life, biblical life and prayers is evident. May God use this book to encourage us all to trust Him in all things and  experience the blessings that await!”–Tad Rogers, Pastor (First Baptist Church, Mountain Home, Arkansas)

“I’m speechless over the book! I’m about to begin Chapter 10, and I have to say my list is growing on who MUST READ this book! I cannot put it down! You have covered so many topics!!! This book is for every person—caregivers, loved ones of aging parents, foster families providing care, those who have been abused or molested, those who struggle with forgiveness, and so on and so on! I PRAISE God with each and every page as I am either crying, laughing, or pondering the lesson God has included “just” for me to learn as I read Your words that are His words! Amazing job, Cheryl. The anointing oozes from each page!!!! I have experienced a goose-bump moment in each chapter…well, at least one! Bless you for sharing! For me personally, this book has already given me the courage to face an unknown future with my own parents (89 years old). Only God knows what the future holds, but I’m reminded in the book to trust only Him and live today…. enjoy today!!! No promise of tomorrow—so why worry! Love you and so very proud of you and your persistence to get this project completed! Many will see and put their trust and faith in God because of this book….your life!…..HIS STORY!   Psalms 40:1-3 (The Living Bible): I waited patiently for God to help me; then he listened and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out from the bog and the mire, and set my feet on a hard, firm path, and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, of praises to our God. Now many will hear of the glorious things he did for me, and stand in awe before the Lord, and put their trust in him.”–Nicole M. (Mountain Home, Arkansas)
