A Caregiver’s Journey: Devotions, Prayers, and Practical Hints for Those Who Care for Others
Donna Goodrich was a caregiver for her husband from 1984 until last March when he passed away. She also took care of her stepdad with dementia and her elderly uncle. During this time she found a number of devotional books for caregivers, but not many with practical hints; thus, the writing of this book.
Donna would like stories from 250 words to no more than 2 pages; but, she’d also like prayers and, especially, some practical hints. What works(ed) for you to make things easier for you and the person you are caring for—children or adults?
She has a good friend who was an editor for a major Christian publishing house who was interested in seeing a proposal. He is now an agent—so hopefully that will work in her favor.
Attached is a list of the chapter headings. At the end she's also included a sample of a brief devotional and one using humor.
She doesn't know if she can pay (depending on if she gets an advance) but she will make sure you get a copy of the book, and get credit—if you want your name used. Please submit your stories to msencourager@cox.net either in the body of the email or as an attachment.
Deadline for submissions is July 1, 2016.
