Enjoy the new inspirational memoir from Edward Grinnan, Guideposts’ editor in chief, as he reveals his deeply personal—and hopeful—journey of faith through his mother’s Alzheimer’s and his own fear of getting the disease. A blessing and encouraging story for anyone facing trials.

Edward understands the fear and panic of memory loss and Alzheimer’s all too well. He watched Alzheimer’s take its ruthless course with his lovely, funny, and intelligent mother, Estelle, and was haunted by the question—will it happen to me too?

Now, in his deeply personal story, you’ll walk with Edward as he travels that painful road of watching a loved one disappear into the fog of Alzheimer’s. He discovers—with God’s help—hope, courage, and peace, even in the midst of such loss and heartache.

In addition to his remarkable story, Edward includes his favorite Guideposts stories told by real people that inspired him in his journey of faith. Plus, he offers practical guidance on caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s—as well as yourself—without becoming overwhelmed.

A Journey of Faith is a tender tribute to Edward’s mother, as well as an exploration of the promise of hope, the indestructibility of love, the faithfulness of God, and an eloquent call to make the most out of every moment. Edward’s beautiful story will stay with you long after you’ve listened.

Makes a perfect gift for anyone struggling with a difficult trial.

Excellent study & memoir

Edward gave an excellent account of his mother’s Alzheimer’s experience, without becoming overly maudlin, yet displaying deep caring and sensitivity. His own investigation into his personal condition and Alzheimer’s potential was similarly portrayed. I feel very informed as well as feeling blessed, knowing that no matter what, God’s love is present in all circumstances and will never fail.

Thank you for sharing your journey.

I pray that by taking this journey, it will somehow make the future easier for you. I don’t have Alzheimer’s in my direct lineage, but I have found that some had dementia to some degree. My inheritance is COPD. I’m following my father’s footsteps and I find it very scary after having watched him suffer. At 75, I should be able to do a hell of a lot more than I can and it makes me so sad. All because I smoked, and from breathing my Dad’s smoke since before I was born. I’m a Guidepost reader and subscriber since the 1980s. Thank you for writing this book, your last book and for all your writings in the Guideposts publications.
