“As always, Shelly Beach's lilting prose ministered to my heart and helped me learn to take my caregiving responsibilities one day at a time—sometimes one minute at a time—and to enjoy the sweetness of God's presence along the way. Thank you, Shelly, for reminding me that we don't walk this difficult road alone.”

“Precious Lord Take My Hand is the most life-giving collection of mediations I have ever read. With profound vulnerability Shelly Beach takes us on a journey through the ordinary moments encountered on the difficult path of care-giving and in doing so teaches us about the extraordinary grace and faithfulness of God. From the sub-title I expected the book to apply only to care-giving and it does that with profound honesty and beauty. What I was not prepared for was the purpose and clarity it shined on other areas of my life. This book is a treasure.”

"Precious Lord, Take My Hand by Shelly Beach is profoundly personal and insightful. Written in a complelling, concise and direct style, it reveals the compassionate, all-sufficiency of God in the issues of everyday life for the cargiver."

“Precious Lord, Take My Hand: Meditations for Caregivers is a must-have book for caregivers. Based on her own experiences as a care giver for her father-in-law, father, and mother, Shelly writes with humor and compassion. She doesn't sugarcoat the day-to-day struggles she faces but shows how trusting God's promises gives her strength for the day she's in. Shelly continues to care for her elderly parents, so she's not writing from the other side of the issue. She struggles just as readers do, with the frustrations of caregiving. Because her struggle is present and real, her continued trust in God to provide what she lacks is a powerful example and encouragement to others.”
