Eldercare as Art and Ministry Using different methods of prayingThis book addresses the fact that, despite the inevitability of aging, the vast majority of us are ill prepared for eldercare. Eldercare as Art and Ministry broadens and deepens an understanding of eldercare as an art and as a ministry. As art, eldercare requires creativity, imagination, and perseverance.
