Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia by John Dunlop, MD
Review written by guest blogger and social work intern, Sarah Conners

The book Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia by John Dunlop is a spiritual guide on finding ways to honor God, from a Christian perspective, through the journey of dementia. John Dunlop does a good job balancing both education on dementia and encouragement on how one can turn towards God throughout the dementia journey. The book follows a beautiful sequence and flow where the author provides Bible verses and pairs God’s love and words to specific aspects individuals might face within dementia care. For example, the author reminds the reader that everyone is made in the image of God and it is important to care for others in ways that reflect God’s image and honor the value and dignity of each individual. John Dunlop also touches on themes on how growing closer to God can help bring more love, support and guidance during a challenging and confusing time. Scattered throughout the book the author brings in his personal experience alongside other individual's’ stories of dementia care to highlight the uniqueness in each journey. Finding Grace in the Face of Dementia is a read that will push you and guide you to seek meaning with God throughout the challenging journey of dementia care. If you are in need of a book that educates on dementia while showing you how to honor and seek God throughout the stages of dementia and dementia care, then this book is for you.
