Glimpses of Grace: And Grace Will Lead Us Home - 7101

During their seven-year journey through Alzheimer’s disease, author Dorothy Horne and her husband Byron learned to open their hearts and trust God. After realizing it wasn’t what happened to them but through them that was most important, they found they could walk through the fire with His provision and strength. The grace they experienced in the midst of their trials became a gift to share with others, for God’s glory. ___________________ “Glimpses of Grace, Vol. 2: And Grace Will Lead Us Home, is a hope-filled glimpse into the journey of a loving wife following a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s for her husband and the couple’s coming together to fit in God’s perfect plan. Dorothy Horne gives us an inside look into the vulnerable world of a caregiver and offers practical advice on how to accept help from others, care for your spouse and care for yourself. It is a beautiful story of courage and reliance upon God to bring ‘beauty out of ashes.’ A must-read for any spouse or family member dealing with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.” —KRISTEN ISHIHARA, elder law attorney “If grace could be made tangible, its beauty could be seen, touched, and heard in this wise and tender book. Dorothy’s soulful reflections are filled with love, light, and hope that will be uplifting to those families living with Alzheimer’s and other related forms of dementia.” —NELDA STRONG, Alzheimer’s caregiver and advocate “What a powerful story—truly a love story! Alzheimer’s, dementia, slow-motion excruciating loss. Dorothy doesn’t sugar-coat it. Yet if you want to witness joy in the midst of the storm, first-hand the power of unpreachy faith, the difference a faith community can make and practical advice for how to help—this is poignant storytelling for you. While Glimpses of Grace, Vol. 2: And Grace Will Lead Us Home shares her long and painful journey of losing her beloved Byron, it is also an up-close look under the microscope at the joy, pain, and hope of relationships—family, friends, faith, and community. In the midst of gut-wrenching loss of a relationship—relationships are also a key source of coping and healing. Dorothy’s intimate but crisp sharing will not only move you deeply to tears of sorrow and of joy—it will remind you of just how dear are your own relationships.” —ROBERT HALL, author, This Land of Strangers: The Relationship Crisis That Imperils Home, Work, Politics and Faith
