One Army Chaplain's Favorite Psalms

Beschreibung

This brief sharing of my experiences as an active-duty and reserve Army chaplain has been years in the making. While there are far more joyful memories than sorrow-filled memories, the latter are painful and some of them were not comfortable to revisit-especially the memories involving families who lost their soldier. The time frame for this story is my service as an Army Reserve chaplain from 1991-2013, including over seven years on active duty. It has been my observation that a majority of the general public (and in fact, a lot of military service members) do not understand what a military chaplain does-other than the insights provided by the TV series M*A*S*H and the character of Father (chaplain) Mulcahy. My hope in publishing this book is that people will gain a deeper insight into and appreciation for the work of military chaplains, my brothers and sisters in ministry.
