Dear Readers, today I’m introducing you to one of my
favorite Christian songwriters.
About Parkinson’s and Recreation: One
Man’s Journey Through Parkinson’s…So Far
Parkinson’s and Recreation: One Man’s Journey Through Parkinson’s…So Far is a
humorous yet sensitive look at author Dennis Jernigan’s journey through the
rough and rocky terrain of Parkinson’s Disease.
In Parkinson’s and Recreation, Dennis takes the reader from the devastating and dreaded moment of hearing the words, “Mr. Jernigan. You have Parkinson’s Disease,” to the instances of discovering unexpected moments of joy and peace as he came to terms with the diagnosis and symptoms he’s lived with for over five years now.
Whether you suffer from Parkinson’s Disease (PD), know someone who does, or whether you have no experience with PD at all, this book will prove to be a breath of fresh air to you in the chaotic world around you.
In a nutshell, Parkinson’s and Recreation is the story of a man who decided to change his attitude and perspective when faced with a dreaded circumstance. It’s the story of a man who has chosen to live life fully…and die well.
A warning to the most pious readers: Jernigan
shares a few stories teetering very near the boundaries of good taste (to
almost bawdy in nature) but all with the hope of showing the good, the bad, and
the humorous as honestly as possible.
Thank you, Dennis, for sharing this book with my
blog readers and me. I know there are plenty of people it can bless.

This is definitely something that could helpful for a loved one. Parkinson’s is a hideous disease and I hope and pray they find a cure or more effective treatments.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this amazing book. What a courageous and wonderful man to write about his experience. Thanks for this uplifting book. Anne in NM.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compassion for others to take the time and effort it must have required to write this book. Will be helpful to those we love who are living with PD

It was a joy to write the book. It was very cathartic for me. It took my mind off of me and put it on trying to meet the needs of others. I am actually working on volume 2 because I want to leave as much of a legacy of joy and a positive perspective to those who struggle with PD as well as to their family and friends as possible. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
ReplyDeleteDennis, my husband and I have followed you since the 90's!! We used to go to all of your concerts! Before my husband started coming to church with me I remember him listening to one of your cassette tapes that I had. That was such a blessing!! You have blessed our lives.
