The Work of the Chaplain

Unlike most other books in this field which are specific to one form of chaplaincy and are often written from an autobiographical viewpoint only, this new resource meets a critical need for an introductory and overview look at chaplaincy in general. Topics include: a concise history and biblical basis for chaplaincy ministry, and a look at what makes this ministry unique; advice on health and empowerment to ensure chaplains take care of themselves while caring for others; and, specific guidance for the often unique areas which chaplains are called to minister.
