Journey Into The Unknown

Journey Into The Unknown is a story about Alzheimers disease but even more so it is a story about the faithfulness of God in the difficult times of life. Artie Sudan is a physician in Internal Medicine who has taken care of hundreds if not thousands of patients with Alzheimers. He has given out much advice to their caregivers and would consider himself an expert in the field. But when his own wife is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers disease at age 53 he begins a journey into unknown territory - being a caregiver himself. He finds that all of his advice and experience over the years while good did not prepare him for all that this new job would require. This job takes him totally out of his comfort zone and beyond his giftings. But he is not without resources and he does not give in to despair.This book also traces a long line of Gods faithfulness to Artie and his wife Luana over the decades before this dreaded diagnosis. He describes how each of these instances become like little stones of remembrances that he puts in his altar to God where he worships. This then becomes a well from which he draws when he needs the strength to go on or to handle a new situation. This is a story about a real person with real struggles doubts and questions. It does not make him out to be a super saint. It does show God to be super but even more so to be faithful. As you read their story you will be encouraged that you too can rely on the faithfulness of God when you encounter your own journeys into the unknown.
