Donna shares her full journey here of dying and coming back to the challenge of recovery from physical, mental and emotional injury. She is open and gut level honest, what a journey of hope and faith. In Donna's words: “God filled the air with his presence and I could not begin to see where he began or ended. He was like a bright light, so intense and brilliant that there was nothing else. My senses were filled with the wonderful fragrance of the Lord. There was no darkness, only God’s light.He lives in me and I was in him and I could not tell the difference where I left off and he began. I am in him and he is in me.Heaven is such a lovely place.”

The need for care and caregiving of Christians and non-Christians alike is an art form requiring skills and a heart of compassion. In this booklet, the key elements of caregiving for lay leaders are presented with a focus on the biblical, while minimizing the theoretical. A practical solution is presented along with processes to assist in uncovering reasons for maladaptive or dysfunctional behavior and guidance to help someone overcome problems and move forward in their Christian walk. The question for most leaders is not if caregiving will be done, but will we be effective in the process and do no harm to those God has placed in our charge. I hope this book will help the reader to be used by God as a minister of grace and mercy for the precious souls in need of Christian care.
