DESCRIPTION:
The book is published in large print.. With Faces to the Evening Sun offers a new vision of the nursing home, "where living is something more than not dying." These meditations, written for nursing home residents and their families, trace the unrelenting rhythm of God's presence and amazing bursts of hope and humor, even amidst the sadness of change and loss
Uplifting meditations for sharing in a nursing home A Customer I am a minister who leads worship services at several nursing homes. I always search for ways to bring courage, comfort, and joy to the people who struggle to find hope while living there. This book glows with wise and inspiring meditations on numberous joys and struggles of living in a nursing home. It will serve as food for my messages for many months to come. These stories and reflections focus on the powerful issues facing people in the nursing home, and offer both wisdom and encouragement as the best of stories can do.. A Book for Unappreciated Nursing Assistants A Customer I have served as a chaplain in a Nursing Home and the unheralded heroes/heroines are the nursing assistants. Grossly unpaid, usually unappreciated, they do the "dirty" work that others avoid. Morgan's book is one I recommend to CNAs, so they can realize the value of their work as a ministry, not just a job. Many have told me that it helped affirm them, create a feeling of value in what they do, and make them feel more appreciated. For that reason it is a book caregivers need to have.. "Stories that would be lost without this excellent book." according to Howard C. Morgan. I am interested in stories of older persons who languish in nursing homes. Morgan's book tells these stories of older persons that would never see the light of day if he hadn't recorded them. We lose a library when an older person dies and their stories die with them. These FAITH STORIES FROM THE NURSING HOME preserve incredible stories of people who live outside the city walls, and often are perceived as lepers. It needs to be read by anyone interested in human beings.
