"Work and Rest God's Way is a refreshing reminder that work is biblical, created, and ordained by God. The book opens the reader's eyes to the benefits of work, both spiritually and physically. It emphasizes the detriments of laziness from a spiritual standpoint. The book incorporates many godly, biblical principles and parables that encompass the essence of God’s design of work and the satisfaction that follows. Author Scott LaPierre does a phenomenal job of incorporating real-life experience drawn from being a former army officer, elementary school teacher, father of nine, husband, and ministry leader. The way he pastors through his writing in addition to providing real-life experience is an equal balance that delights readers.
Many scripture references in addition to valuable parables are incorporated into his writing to support the point that work is biblical, can be healthy, and even enjoyable when approached through the lens of God’s original design. Scott LaPierre leaves the reader feeling encouraged and ready to conquer daily tasks with enthusiasm, a sense of diligence, and a “working for the Lord” mindset. Rest is also a major component and theme of the book. Without rest, the amount of time spent working is left unchecked and can be damaging to one’s health spiritually, familially, mentally, and physically. On the seventh day, God rested. LaPierre incorporates practical ways to weave rest into one’s life. Work and Rest God’s Way is a literary treatise that unfolds the essence of what it means to have a healthy work and rest life balance from a biblical perspective."

My father, John, passed away from Alzheimer’s, as did his father, Arnold. Months ago, I learned that my uncle has Alzheimer’s, and today I learned that my aunt does too. The message fittingly read: “This disease is so prevalent on the LaPierre side of the family,” and then, because of the years with my dad, “Scott, if you have any words of advice or things to help us, we would appreciate it.”
As I prepared the advice, it turned out to be much longer than I anticipated. I thought that if it could help the family members I share with, I should put it on my blog to hopefully help others who have to walk through this disease with a loved one. So here are the seven pieces of advice I have for loved ones with Alzheimer’s.
