I'm a fan of Wayne Grudem. I've personally benefited tremendously from his books - so much so that I've required his Systematic Theology and Bible Doctrine as reading for various classes I've taught. I've heard him speak a handful of times at the Evangelical Theological Society, and appreciate both his content and his tone. I attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School shortly after he left, but was there close enough to his tenure there that I heard from numerous others who were impacted by his teaching. Few contemporary evangelical systematic theologians are as influential as Wayne Grudem has been.
And my respect for Wayne Grudem continued to increase when I heard that he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, and read how he's responding to it. I've included a link to this response at the end of this post. Folks, this is an lived-example of theology taking shape and making a difference in everyday life. This is an embodied example of "theology matters." We all need examples like this. Check out what Wayne Grudem has to say here: "I Have Parkinson's and I am at Peace" by Wayne Grudem

The love of my life for the last 17 years was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nearly 4 years ago, at age 52. He had a stooped posture, tremors, muscle stiffness, horrible driving skills, and slow movement. He was placed on Sinemet 50/200 at night for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medications I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) In March this year his primary physician suggested we started him on Natural Herbs Centre ( Naturalherbscentre. com ) Ayurveda Parkinson’s Protocol which eased his anxiety a bit, i’m happy to report this PD Ayurvedic treatment worked very effectively. His Parkinson’s is totally under control, he had a total decline in symptoms, the tremors, shaking, stiffness, slow movement and speech problems stopped. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you
