Overview

Drawing on the writings and wisdom of Henri J. M. Nouwen's themes of caregiving, Marjorie J. Thompson offers a vulnerable exploration of caregiving intertwined with both her own many years of intimate caregiving of family members and collected stories of caregivers in varied settings and stages of life. While not shying away from the demanding physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of caregiving, Courage for Caregivers also celebrates the gifts of caregiving grounded in the belovedness both caregiver and care receiver share in God's eyes. Practical leader guides and resources make Courage for Caregivers a tool that moves smoothly from individual encouragement to group and congregational ministry to develop support for the universal experience of caregiving.

Author Information

Marjorie J. Thompson is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church USA. She has served as a teacher, writer, and retreat leader for more than thirty years. Henri J. M. Nouwen was one of her early spiritual mentors and personal friend of her husband, John Mogabgab, who served as Henri's teaching and research assistant for five years at Yale Divinity School. With over twenty years of experience as a speaker, writer, and performer, Sheri Saginor brings to her work a true passion for the spoken word. She has worked in a wide variety of industries, including high-tech, education, and music. But the common thread that connects them all is using her voice to communicate with others. As a former professional singer, she has a keen understanding of the musicality of great audiobook narration. One of her greatest strengths is creating a sense of intimacy and energy that draws audiences in and keeps them listening. She loves narrating fiction, but she specializes in nonfiction genres, including business, self-development, and memoir. When she's not in the recording booth, she enjoys hiking up mountains, running half-marathons, and belting out old Linda Ronstadt and Taylor Swift tunes while playing her guitar.
