When my father was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I read everything I could get my hands on about the disease. Right off the bat I could tell if it was written by a physician, pharmaceutical company or even a nursing home. When caregivers are looking for help, the last thing they need is medical text so complex they already forgot what they read by the time it's laid back down. This is what got me started on writing about common sense caregiving, which turned into a weekly column and now into this book. My goal is to make this book as "caregiver friendly" as possible. Sharing my triumphs and hardships from my plus three-thousand day campaign in dealing with the disease of Alzheimer's and the world of memory-impairment.

Ernest Shurtleff Holmes was an American writer, spiritual teacher and founder of the Religious Science (Science of Mind) movement. Holmes authored The Science of Mind and numerous other metaphysical books as well as founded the Science of Mind magazine. Creative Mind teaches how to focus your thoughts to create wealth, increase one's personal charisma, increase your circle of friends and grow in all aspects of life. Holmes believes that the universe has intelligence, purpose, and order and shows you that by understanding its principles and applying them, you can see who you are and what you truly want in life. "This little book is an attempt to explain what each soul must discover for himself, that he stands in the midst of an eternal creative power which presses itself around his own thought, and casts back to him glorified all that he thinks."

"The First Three Parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life-calm, wise and beautiful-of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace." James Allen was a British philosophical writer known for his inspirational books and poetry and as a pioneer of self-help movement. Allen's practical philosophy for successful living has awakened millions to the discovery that "they themselves are makers of themselves." Allen insists that it is within the power of each person to form his own character and create his own happiness.

Churches? Homes for the Blind, Crippled or Aged? Mine wo uld be "Homes"-but not for the aged or infirm. For young married couples " What would your quest be if you were in the position to be able to give more? The Secret of the Ages may help you attain that position and help you answer this question.
