The multi-sensory method used in the book, Remembering the Life of Jesus, was tested by rigorous empirical research by Diana L. Walters during her doctoral studies in gerontology at Oxford Graduate School (Dayton, Tennessee). The dissertation, The Effect of Montessori-Style Multi-Sensory Worship on the Affective Experience of Women with Dementia, describes the entire research project in detail. The excellence of her research was honored by bestowal of the Oxford Chalice Award. A summary of the research has been published in the peer-reviewed journal, Dementia: The International Journal of Social Science Research and Practice (May 2007).
The dissertation is available as a PDF file on a PC-compatible CD or as an on-line download.
