A diagnosis of dementia usually comes as a great shock. Christians are not
promised exemption from ill-health or the distress that comes with a difficult
diagnosis. This booklet sets out the basic facts about dementia, corrects some
common misconceptions and gives practical ideas for supporting loved ones.
The booklet ends with a biblical understanding of dementia, offering hope
and comfort to the individual as well as family and friends.
