Caring Well: 90 Self-Care Devotions for the African American Caregiver
Autor Jeanne Porter Kingen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 sep 2024
Caregiving is a core value in the African American culture. And African American women of faith often fill that role—for elderly parents, sick children, and other members of their community. Yet no one is fully prepared for the reality of disrupted schedules, unpredictable needs, and many sleepless nights that come with caregiving.
Jeanne Porter King shares 90 devotions written from her own experience as a caregiver for her mother to encourage you to take time to care for your whole self. In three sections that address caring for your spirit, soul, and body, each devotion ends with a reflection question and a self-care activity to help guide you on your caregiving journey.
Draw from the perfect source of strength by seeking Scripture and prayer to sustain you. Your faith is ready fuel for the self-care you need as you look after others!

Caring Well by Jeanne Porter King is an absolute must-have for caregivers. This book is a lifeline, offering essential support and practical advice. Dr. Porter King’s compassionate and insightful writing makes it an indispensable guide. Don’t miss out on this incredible resource—it’s a game-changer for anyone in a caregiving role.
Count this amazing devotional as another must-read from Dr. Jeanne Porter King, one of the most respected and admired leaders in the faith. With her caring spirit, life-tested wisdom, and loving guidance, Dr. Jeanne delivers another God-blessed collection of reflections to inspire African American women to slow down long enough to care for ourselves while caring for the many others in our busy, challenging lives. As she sees us and leads us, Dr. Jeanne leaves us with a bounty of spiritual and practical hope and help for our caregiving seasons. It’s a beautiful gift for others, but first to ourselves.
Dr. Jeanne Porter King’s newest book, Caring Well, is a vital source of encouragement and wisdom for caregivers. Her ability to weave personal caregiving stories with Scripture provides space for Dr. Jeanne and God to walk with us on the caregiver journey. The 90-day devotional gives us practical ways to prioritize the care of our mind, body, spirit, and soul; overcome the guilt of self-care; and accentuate our well-being as we care for others.
Caring Well is not only a compassionate guide for those navigating the demands of caregiving but also a profound spiritual companion. As a caregiver for my mom, I found solace and strength in its pages. . . . The book’s core message—that through faith and the embracing of one’s spiritual resources, one can find the strength and grace to navigate caregiving—is both empowering and transformative. Dr. Jeanne emphasizes the importance of self-care, urging caregivers to be intentional about maintaining their own spiritual and physical well-being. The emphasis on prayer, specifically “Godward” prayer, serves as a reminder of the power of turning to God in times of need, not only for the person being cared for but also for the caregiver herself.
Dr. Jeanne Porter King is bold enough to speak some unspoken truths about caregiving that caregivers dare not utter. She provides caregivers the tools to get beyond those crucible moments and provides the means to forge an enlightened path toward seeing the gift, the blessing, and perhaps the joy in the testing of the spirit that comes with choosing to give of self to another. Caring Well is a roadmap and a reminder to care for and love oneself deeply during the caregiving odyssey.
As a caregiver, retreat consultant, pastor, daughter, aunt, and friend wearing many hats, I found this book not only life-giving but an opportunity to care for myself. Each devotion, each story, each Scripture, each reflection anchored me and allowed me to inventory my life, giving me an opportunity to exhale and remember who I am apart from the roles and responsibilities I have. The bite-sized devotions were just enough for me to chew on and digest and helped start my day with the fuel needed to execute efficiently. Dr. Porter King’s weaving together of the sacred and secular was brilliant and effective, knitting together a comprehensive collection of work.
Caring Well is a masterpiece providing devotions that address caregiving from multiple perspectives. Jeanne addresses burnout, care giving fatigue, and the grieving process of caring for the person who initially cared for you. Caregiving can often feel very lonely but Caring Well showed me that I am not alone on this journey and provided me with Scripture and tools to guide me along the way. I highly recommend this devotional.
A delightful guide, provoking reflection for those of us who desire to stay strengthened in our caregiving journey. The book exonerates caregivers who feel guilty for the challenges they face and offers devotional encouragement and hope. I and fellow caregivers now have a devotional guide that reminds us we are never alone!
Caring Welloffers a transparent, candid account of the highs and lows of caregiving as well as wise, godly guidance on how to manage your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical well-being during the caregiving journey. Reading the devotions makes you feel like you’re in a support group led by an affirming coach. I wish I had a book like this when I was caring for my grandmother. The spiritual and practical guidance is life-giving and a great source of encouragement.
Caring Well . . .addresses cultural attributes of African American Christians who are tending to their loved ones. It centers caregiving as a calling, with a need for those on the frontline to make caring for themselves a spiritual practice. Challenging, real, heartwarming, and nuanced, each devotion is designed for reflection—encouraging an intentional path of self-care and well-being. Regardless of where you are on this God-driven journey, this book is a valuable tool.
