The Alzheimer's Association reports that more than 12 million Americans gave an estimated 19.6 billion hours of unpaid care to people living with Alzheimer's or another dementia in 2025 (2026 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures). Many of them are grown sons and daughters with jobs and children of their own, keeping a parent safe at home and wondering whether anyone sees what it costs.

Martha Served is a 30-day devotional through the home of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus of Bethany. It is written for families caring for a parent with dementia: the daughter who does the pill organizer and the paperwork, the sibling who lives far away, and the spouse in the next room.

Inside

  • The House at Bethany: opening your door, distraction and resentment, and the one thing that is necessary
  • Twelve Hours of Daylight: the diagnosis, the long wait, sundowning, and the friends who stop coming
  • If You Had Been Here: anger at God, the sibling who stays home, and the faith that still holds
  • Honor Your Father: what honoring a parent does and does not require, money, locks, and hard decisions
