When one senses a call to ministry outside the traditional church setting, such as the military Chaplaincy, there can be a greater deal of difficulty in discerning the call. The author writes from a Christian perspective and holds the premise that the vocation of military Chaplaincy is a high and honorable calling from God. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book examines the call to serve as a military Chaplain in the United States Armed Forces among a group of fifteen seminary students. The majority of the participants were students at Columbia International University. Several others attended Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary. To assist these students in discerning a call to military Chaplaincy, a three-session small group workshop was developed and held during the semester. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe goal of the students was to discern and demonstrate a clear call to military Chaplaincy as they participated in the workshop. The goal of the workshop facilitator, who also helps recruit military Chaplains, was to list and interpret the common factors and vocational motivations of the seminary students called to serve as military chaplains. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book also explores the call to military Chaplaincy as an act of ministry that involves an initial call from God, the confirmation of the Church, and the obedience of the person who says, \"Here am I, send me\" (Isaiah 6:8b). The author views Christian Chaplains in the military as an extension of Christ's ministry to all people and examines several Biblical texts that relate to the various aspects of the military chaplaincy and provide a Biblical basis for ministry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe outcomes of this research project will benefit military Chaplain recruiters, vocational counselors, denominational endorsers of military Chaplains, and any person who is considering the military Chaplaincy as a vocation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eREVISED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURES: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eOver 55 new pages in a new appendix which includes over 300 unique Chaplaincy websites and resources in the following major functional areas of professional Chaplaincy: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Military Chaplaincy- Healthcare Chaplaincy- Correctional Chaplaincy- Corporate Chaplaincy- Public Safety Chaplaincy- Sports and Recreational Chaplaincy- Disaster Relief Chaplaincy- Educational Chaplaincy- Community Chaplaincy- Transportation, Travel, and Tourism Chaplaincy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDETAILED CHAPLAINCY RESOURCE SECTION: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe new appendix also includes dedicated sections that provide Chaplaincy websites and resources which address the following areas: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Clinical Pastoral Education Programs - Choosing a Degree Program in Chaplaincy - Sources of Information for Student Financial Aid - Faith Group \u0026amp; Denominational Ecclesiastical Endorsers for Chaplaincy - Continuing Education for Chaplains - Chaplaincy Research and Professional Development Resources - North American Professional Chaplaincy, Counseling, Pastoral Care Organizations - International Chaplaincy, Counseling, and Pastoral Care Organizations - Chaplain Ministry with Military Personnel and War Veterans - Free Resources for Military Chaplains\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard III Curren, Brian Bohlman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1507602138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781507602133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Richard III Curren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989944795391,"sku":"9781507602133","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d2ad81a-bd42-4f8e-9061-439a2669d75f.jpg?v=1683302211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-god-and-country-richard-curren-iii-9781507602133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
