Twenty-Third Psalm for Caregivers

What better place for caregivers to find support and encouragement than in the Shepherd of "rest, peace, hope, patience, courage, friends, protection, blessings and joy who cares, provides, directs, comforts, heals and loves" (from the chapter titles). The gift-book format, lovely illustrations, poignant stories and well-chosen quotes make this a book caregivers will treasure.

Caregiving is a very lonely job. Carmen does a wonderful job of making the reader realize they are in the company of many dedicated caregivers who "know where you are" and the solitude of this situation. I loved the comfort and camraderie I felt as I read this book. Caring for my brother and my father who both had cancer at the same time was a load. Carmen helped carry it with me.

An absolutely beautiful book with a powerful message. This book is for everyone, because each of us will likely become a caregiver at some time in our lives--either we are right now, or we will be. Carmen Leal has opened up her own life of caregiving to us, and gives us encouragement, hope, and a gentle reminder that the Shepherd knows every heartache we face in caring for those we love. Beautifully written, this tender book will minister to you and to everyone you know.

This book, with its beautiful illustrations and heartwarming text, is a much needed hug for caregivers everywhere. Carmen Leal has done a superb job of providing emotional support to those who daily give of themselves to others. If you, or someone you know, is a caregiver, encouragement is waiting for them between the covers of this wonderful book.

I am blessed that my personal caregiving story is shared in this wonderful book by Carmen Leal. The Twenty-Third Psalm for Caregivers has been well received by my family. In fact, just this morning my grandma called crying. They were tears of joy because of my grandfather's touching story which was included in Ms. Leal's book. My grandmother loved it and is ordering more copies for her neighbors and friends. If you have anyone in your life who is a caregiver, I highly recommend this book. I'm so glad that I was able to take part, sharing about my caregiving experiences with my grandfather during his last months. I pray that many people will be blessed by Ms. Leal's words of encouragement and hope in Jesus.
