The truth is that caring well for others means you have to take care of your well-being too.

Writing from her own caregiving experience, Jeanne Porter King shares 90 biblical devotions to encourage you to take time to care for your whole self. Each devotion ends with a reflection question and self-care activity to help guide you on your caregiving journey.
