my cousin’s new book
My cousin has released a new book! The title is The Combat Trauma Healing Manual. Chris works with Campus Crusade for Christ ~ he’s the Military Ministry Associate National Director for Disciplemaking. His wife, Rahnella, who also contributed to the book, is the Military Ministry Associate National Director of Staff & Troop Care.
I know a couple of my friends who read my blog are wives of military chaplains. Ladies, if you would pass the information along to your husbands that this resource is available, I would really appreciate it. I think this workbook will be invaluable in the work that our military ministers do. I also think that in areas where there’s a large concentration of military members ~ Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Colorado Springs are cities that spring to mind, but I know there are a lot more ~ this manual can be very useful to the non-military-based ministries that care for soldiers, airmen, sailors, Marines, etc., etc.
I know that the media frequently broadcasts reports about soldiers who return home from a deployment in a war zone (i.e. Iraq) only to find their lives turned upside down. Combat trauma (aka PTSD) is very real, very dangerous, and very prevalent among our military members who have experienced time in hostile environments. Most military members are hesitant to speak out about the trauma they have experienced, for a plethora of reasons ~ anything from simple pride to fear they may be put into a mental institution or kicked out of the service. Campus Crusade for Christ’s Military Ministry was formed to help address these difficulties. Chris and Rahnella, as well as the other contributors to The Combat Trauma Healing Manual, have a deep desire to help the members of our military who have so bravely sacrificed for our country. And not just in the most recent conflicts ~ their ministry reaches out to all veterans of every conflict.
