Editorial Reviews

Review

In a world hung up on trying to make sense out of hard times, Peter drives the point home that "we don't have to understand God understands, and that's enough." This is THE book for caregivers, written by one with scars and immense credibility.
 JEFF FOXWORTHY, Comedian, Author, Television Host

Written by one who has "been there and done that," Peter offers caregivers practical advice for everyday living. This book is an important resource for caregivers and for those who care for the caregivers.
 KENNETH L. FARMER, Jr., M.D.
Major General, U.S. Army (Retired)
Former Commanding General, Walter Reed Army Medical Center and North Atlantic Regional Medical Command

Peter is authentic in his understanding and awareness when he writes about caregiving he knows the journey intimately. He is also theologically wise in the midst...when he says,"we are stewards not owners."
 KEITH G. MEADOR, M.D., ThM, MPH,
Professor of Psychiatry and Health Policy
Director, Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society
Associate Dean, Student Health and Wellness
Vanderbilt University

None of us ever plan to be in a position like Peter, but it happens. When I was helping to care for a stroke-ridden father for many years, I wish I had had this book to lean upon!
 JOE BONSALL, The Oak Ridge Boys

Peter Rosenberger often tells his radio audience that he is the "Crash-test Dummy of Caregivers!"

For nearly forty years, radio host, author, speaker, accomplished pianist, and a black belt in Hapkido, Peter has personally traveled the path of the family caregiver. His wisdom and insight are hard-won, and wryly shares that he "...has had ample time to make virtually every mistake one can make as a caregiver!"

In an unparalleled journey with his wife Gracie, he has navigated a medical nightmare that has mushroomed to 85+ operations, the amputation of both of Gracie's legs, treatment by more than 100 doctors in 13 hospitals, 7 medical insurance companies, and $15 million in medical bills.

This experience unquestionably qualifies him as an expert as a caregiver and has made him a most ardent champion for the family caregiver, providing him with an astonishing understanding of healthcare issues and a deep compassion for others. His infectious humor and candor bring freshness, hope, and laughter into the painful places of caregiving. He regularly speaks on a wide range of topics that include healthcare and finances, caregivers in the workplace, facing adversity, thriving as a caregiver, and family relationships.

Earning a Bachelor of Music from Belmont University, Peter is an accomplished pianist and often incorporates his expressive style of music into his presentations as he entertains, inspires, and challenges audiences from all walks of life.

Since 2013, he has carried his message of health and hope for the caregiver to the airwaves, hosting his own weekly show on 1510 WLAC (IHEART) in Nashville. In September 2017, Peter's show for caregivers became the first to go into syndication. HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER is now heard weekly on more than 200 stations.

Peter's newest book is titled, "A MINUTE FOR CAREGIVERS - When Every Day Feels Like Monday."

Targeting America's 65+ million family caregivers, Peter show HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER, has the goal of not just making family caregivers feel better, but offering them the tools and empowerment to be better. Drawing upon Peter's 30 years of experience as a caregiver, HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER offers clear, proven, strategies and tools to guide caregivers towards a healthier lifestyle in every facet of their life.

In addition, HOPE FOR THE CAREGIVER provides invaluable tools to counselors, clergy, medical practitioners, employers and businesses faced with addressing the needs of the caregiver. Peter also serves as the president of Standing with Hope Inc., a nonprofit evangelical prosthetic limb outreach to developing countries.

Peter and Gracie reside in Southwest Montana

Peter's lengthy media credits include USA Today, The Today Show, Fox News, Guideposts Magazine, AARP, BBC World News,

Hope for the Caregiver weaves Peter and Gracie Rosenberger’s lengthy caregiving story through the use of brief devotions with practical and easy-to-understand suggestions, encouragement, and humor. The book begins with “The Caregiver’s Prayer,” based on the principles of “The Serenity Prayer.” Each chapter in its four sections of head, emotions, lifestyle, and planning includes related quotes and Bible verses. Hope for the Caregiver concludes with a review of tips Peter calls the 1-2-30 Plan for Caregivers: H-E-L-P M-E Plan.

I am a caregiver for my husband. I was sinking low with the stress of it all. The Lord put this book in my path on facebook one day about two months ago. It has been the biggest help and blessing to me. It gave me so much freedom from guilt, and trying to do it all while my own health wasn't being taken care of. The one thing that set me free was that it is okay to be self-centered sometimes when I need it. My life has totally revolved around my wonderful Godly husband and always putting my needs and feelings in last place.
Thank you so much Peter for writing this encouraging helpful book. It has changed my life. I am on a new road physically, mentally and spiritually with more peace and joy in my life.

I liked reading about his experience. He gives good ways to handle your own.
The only thing is though, were to many words about God that May turn some people off. He was being helpful. I found there was too much of that. Not enough for me not to not want to continue reading this valuable book.
I am so grateful for all His help from his experiences. Many of us need this. I hope he’s doing well now

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable advice for the Caregiver
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2017

I attend the local Alzheimer's Project Support Group and have a wonderful leader (who's a Caregiver herself). On our last meeting, she read us a chapter from Hope for the Caregiver. What she read was a help to me, so I decided to look up the book on Amazon (they have the book available for $3.03 on their Kindle format and if you get Amazon's free version of Kindle, you'll be able to start reading the same day).
May you find help and encouragement, as well.
Update: I just finished the book. As a Caregiver I've had moments where I needed the wisdom and plain common sense the author's learned over the last 30 years of caring for his own wife. I am grateful that he put it down on paper.

Peter recommends attending/having 2 support groups. I was blessed to learn about a Closed Group on Facebook called Memory People (founded by Rick Phelps who was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease in June of 2010 at the age of 57), while reading a review on Amazon. I highly recommend them, as well.

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Hope for the Caregiver is exactly what the sub-title states: Encouraging Words to Strengthen Your Spirit. Peter Rosenberger's transparency captures the heart of the caregiver because his words capture the reality of the caregiver's days. He uses just enough personal detail to convince the reader that he "gets it" because he "lives it." He gets inside the head of the Caregiver throughout the book but I especially liked the chapter "Don't Believe Everything You Think and "Progress Not Perfection." He encourages Caregivers to take care of themselves so that they can take care of the one that they love. He is practical in his counsel. I highly recommend this book and hope that it is widely read because it not only encourages the caregiver, but it gives glimpse inside the life and heart of Caregivers.
