 Book Review - Combat Chaplain: A Thirty Year Vietnam Battle : Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2004
In Combat Chaplain: A Thirty Year Vietnam Battle (University of North Texas Press, 2001), Jim Johnson relates the poignant account of a young combat chaplain who did what few chaplains ventured to do - he accompanied members of his unit into the heat of combat.
Now a certified counselor on staff at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Johnson began the book as a matter of personal therapy, then chose to share his story with others in hopes that they might find help and encouragement.
For those who served in Vietnam, for those who wonder what it was like, and for those who seek to understand and minister to soldiers who are encountering or returning from battle, Combat Chaplain is an engaging and helpful book.
