A Promise Kept by Robertson McQuilkin $12.99 | Hardcover | 96 pages | Tyndale House Publishers OUR PRICE: $11.00 Few books so easily read have ever left such a stunning impression: this is the true story of a Christian college President who leaves his career to care for his wife Muriel, who is deteriorating by degrees from Alzheimer's. An impacting book for our modern era, in which love is often contemplated only for the pleasure it brings one's self and without thought of the sacrifices made. As the disease takes its toll on his wife, Robertson devotes more and more time to serve her every need, first cutting back on work, and eventually choosing to leave it entirely to care for her, as she gradually becomes entirely dependent upon him for the simplest of human tasks. Perhaps what impresses us most is how he considers it his joyful privilege to serve his wife through this lasting trial. A display of exemplary, Christ-like love at its finest.
