Diary of a Caregiver: The Dementia Journey
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99In 2009 my wife of over 59 years was diagnosed with Dementia with Alzheimer’s symptoms. My care giving responsibilities began before that time and
continued until her death in January 2018. She was provided care in her own home. As time went by the caregiver duties became more and more demanding. It was truly 24 hours each day and seven days each week. My Sweetheart was referred to the hospice program as a patient beginning in March 2013 with a life expectancy of six months or less. At the time of her passing, she had been a hospice patient for 4 years, 10 months and 5 days. The Diary of a Caregiver begins with her entry into the hospice program and continues until her death. Care giving can be very frustrating at times as one never knows what to expect or when to expect it. The Diary of a Caregiver identifies many of the problems and frustrations associated with care of a Dementia patient. It also identifies different techniques and solutions to some of those problems. It should be of interest to anyone who is involved in care giving especially those who are just beginning.

Lady in Red Where is Your Head?
Price range: $3.99 through $16.99“Lady in Red, Where is Your Head?” by first-author Carolann deBellis, tells the story of a woman who survived a brain injury and a coma after a car accident on an icy New Jersey Turnpike in 1987, when she was 34.
Carolann had it all, the perfect life, before the accident-a great job at a hot Philadelphia salon, a passionate 12-year marriage and a wide circle of friends and family who marveled at her energy and infectious spirit.
Then, in the aftermath of the near-death accident, she lost it all-job, husband and sense of self. After learning to walk, talk and cut hair again, she faced the life-long task of going beyond recovery, beyond recreating the person she was before the accident to aspire for something better. Psychological counseling and the support of a loving circle of family and friends helped her to see that all was not perfect before the accident, helped her redefine a new Carolann, a work in progress who’s less self-absorbed and more self-aware, less controlling, and more open in her relationships with men in her life.
If it weren’t for the imperative, painful job of remaking herself physically, cognitively, and emotionally from a child-like state after the accident, Carolann might never have undertaken the intense personal journey that leads her today, at 59, to say “I thank God for my brain injury that cured me.”
More than a conventional memoir or self-help guide, “Lady in Red” stitches together Carolann’s own words, a diary that her cousin Michael Biello wrote during her coma and rehabilitation, hospital documents, notes from nurses and visitors and Carolann’s collection of inspirational quotes.
“I wrote and rewrote this book for over 20 years to help others who suffered or know someone who has suffered a brain injury,” Carolann says. Certainly, those directly or indirectly affected by a traumatic brain injury will benefit from reading her book, but so will anyone who believes it’s never too late to re-examine yourself and get to work making yourself a better person.

You Can’t Just Snap Out of It: A Journey from Depression to Healing
Price range: $3.99 through $9.99One night, I was on the floor, facedown, praying before the Lord, when I felt like God was enveloping me in his arms. I had just come out of a six-month depression. I heard him speak to my heart, and he told me that he wanted me to write a book on what it looks like, feels like, and what it is to be in a depressed person’s body.
My purpose in writing this book is to help educate people about this debilitating disease so that they can become more compassionate and supportive of their loved ones, friends, coworkers, and depressed people in general. If you have never experienced depression personally, it is difficult to understand and hard to relate to.
I found out in talking to many people that mental illness touches almost every family. There are so many suicides that are taking place in our world today. That is why it is so important to arm yourselves with the knowledge of the signs and symptoms of depression so that you can get that person help.
In the book, “You Can’t Just Snap out of It,” there is also a message of hope. You don’t have to suffer in silence any longer. There is help out there for you. All you have to do is ask.

Aging Well 2020 and Caregiving
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99This is the newest and most comprehensive book on both subjects, not technical but conversational and sometimes even humorous. Most books on aging are written by those aged fifty or younger who never experienced the senior years. The authors of this book are 80 and 90 years old. They talk about aging and caregiving from the Old horse’s mouth.
Walter Oleksy, 90, author of more than thirty books and a former Chicago Tribune feature writer, reports the latest medical achievements for Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other afflictions of the elderly. From his own experience as a caregiver, he offers advice on caregiving and nursing home visiting. Avis Carlson wrote a weekly newspaper column on aging for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch when she was 80. She tells about the cons of aging: identity problems, self-esteem, aloneness; and the pros of aging: freedoms in aging, acceptance of age, sex and aging, achieving religious growth, laughing at life and death.

God and Choice and Life or Death
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99I define this choice as an established, intangible mechanism at the core of our being, which our will for our lives through the spoken word of our mouths activates. This choice is sometimes ignored and/or unrecognized; however, it is always present and available to us. Its purpose is to deliver us (our spirit man) into the hands of freedom, a place within us where we are always safe, where we are sane, and where we recognize the greatness that is within us through Christ Jesus, our Lord. This is not the freedom of footloose, wild, and fancy free, but it is the freedom of kings and priests. Its freedom enables our responsible right to us. We understand that God is responsible and the only right (Deut. 32:4), and only through Him can anyone obtain rights. No one has the right or God on his side to do anything unless it is through Him. This is the basis of truth. In John 8:31-32, Jesus said, “If you continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” First, He instructs us to continue. We cannot pick up the Word of God and put it down with yet still the expectation of receiving what it says. Our continuance in the Word is the key to our forthcoming knowledge and revelation. Jesus said, “Then are ye my disciples indeed” Disciples are disciplined ones that recognize the order of God and will themselves to carry it out. These orders carried out are the physical evidence of the disciplined spirits, willed from the soul (mind). This is the order of God. When your spirit (heart) is disciplined toward God, your soul wills your body to follow through.

Choices: Like waves going to distant shores, will we ever really understand the consequences of our choices?
$9.99We all make choices in our lives. Sometimes, the freedom to pick between many different options can feel more like bondage than freedom. Sometimes, our freedom of choice is a prison. Literally, yet, God can take any choice we make and turn it into His glory and victory.
Author Sylvia Ramos-Paneque’s CHOICES: A Bail Bondswoman’s Reflections is the harrowing, autobiographical account of the many life choices she made that led her to serve jail time in a Mexican prison for smuggling drugs in the early 1980s. Within this compelling memoir, Ramos-Paneque guides readers through her early days of growing up in “Rat City,” a.k.a. White Center, a suburb of Seattle, through adulthood, and her growing faith journey along the way. Readers learn about the tough choices made in the author’s life, from becoming a ninth-grade school drop-out to getting married at the age of sixteen and ultimately drifting into her role as a drug smuggler, running cocaine from South America.
This riveting story showcases how God was with the author through all of her choices, and, in His powerful economy, everything can be used. After years of making “wrong” decisions, God’s choice to provide the author with employment as a bail bondswoman for over the following twenty years turned her choices into God’s decision to help countless others in similar situations. With God’s help, our darkest and most painful experiences become His greatest assets in helping others.
