Shepherds of God in Wolves' Clothing: Random Reflections of a Former Army Chaplain
Submitted by: Dr. Murray Thompson
Category: Books
Having served in the United States Army as a military chaplain for nearly 10 years, this shepherd of God offers a unique perspective from both a historical point of view and personal experience on the extraordinary service of those men and women who have been called to minister to what can only be described as America's finest.
In sharing his reflections - reflections that highlight everything from the Biblical roots for spiritual leadership among God's people in ancient Israel through the evolving history of the military chaplaincy in the last century - this book highlights a specialized ministry that a select few have had the privilege and honor to perform since the earliest days of the Old Testament.
