Honoring Dependent Parents: Biblical Decision-Making for Adult Children

“These pages are animated by attentiveness, nuanced compassion, and a courageous willingness to offer concrete advice for believers who are struggling.””

“The deep work of an exceptional philosopher. . . . A thoroughly practical and pastoral study.”

“Caring for dependent parents . . . presents difficult and draining moral questions. Bill Davis handles this issue with theological care, pastoral sensitivity, and, above all, wisdom.”

“A rare source of biblical and practical wisdom to guide Christians through the difficulties, complexities, and confusion involved in faithfully fulfilling the fifth commandment. This is the book that my wife and I wish we had read when we cared for our dependent parents, and it is the book that we will give to our four adult children to prepare them for our own season of growing dependence.”

“Honoring Dependent Parents is a valuable tool to equip both individuals and the church to navigate the complexities of compassionate caregiving for aging parents. Dr. Bill Davis helps readers think biblically about aging with grace and offers practical and spiritual encouragement.”

“I have pastored churches for four decades. In each of them, members have sought my counsel about how to honor their aging parents in stressful and perplexing situations. How I wish I had had this book! There’s solid Bible exposition with case study after case study—and with compassionate wisdom, the author shares the stories of believers struggling to be faithful to the fifth commandment.”
