While there are far more joyful memories than sorrow-filled memories, the latter are painful and some of them were not comfortable to revisit-especially the memories involving families who lost their soldier.\u003cbr\u003e The time frame for this story is my service as an Army Reserve chaplain from 1991-2013, including over seven years on active duty. It has been my observation that a majority of the general public (and in fact, a lot of military service members) do not understand what a military chaplain does-other than the insights provided by the TV series M*A*S*H and the character of Father (chaplain) Mulcahy.\u003cbr\u003e My hope in publishing this book is that people will gain a deeper insight into and appreciation for the work of military chaplains, my brothers and sisters in ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChaplain (LTC) Les Maloney, retired, is a graduate of Baylor University (PhD, 2005). He published an earlier book on the psalms titled A Word Fitly Spoken: Poetic Artistry in the First Four Acrostics of the Hebrew Psalter (New York, NY: Peter Lang Publishing, 2009). In 2003-2004, he wrote a series of articles on the army chaplaincy ministry in Iraq, published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper. In the civilian part of his life, Chaplain Maloney preached for local churches in Iowa, Arizona, and Texas. Chaplain Maloney is also a graduate of Harding School of Theology in Memphis, Tennessee (MA; MTh) and Lubbock Christian University (BA).\u003cbr\u003e Lieutenant Colonel Maloney retired from the army reserve chaplaincy after twenty-two years of service (including more than seven years on active duty) and moved to Oklahoma City to be close to the grandchildren. His wife, Margaret, is a middle school computer science and math teacher. Dr. Maloney also serves as chair for the Professional Advisory Group, Clinical Pastoral Education program, Christus-Spohn Hospitals in Corpus Christi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8.5 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 29, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51785050423584,"sku":"9781664239753","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d69f1ce04f8b55c381af5084ce22a3e9.webp?v=1780611391","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/faith-hope-love-and-amazing-grace-one-army-chaplains-favorite-psalms-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
