Blessings from the Battlefield

Product Description

Assembled under the direction of Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien, head of the Military Archdiocese that serves 1.2 million Catholics throughout the world, this book is filled with poignant and moving stories of faith and service. From the Korean War and Vietnam to Desert Storm and the Gulf War, these are stories of the dignity of people of faith in untoward circumstances and faraway places. Stories of frontline ministry, where the agony of war and death takes your breath away with its horror. Stories of the outpouring of grace that move you to tears. These are the accounts of the heroic men who risk their own lives to bring the comfort of heaven to hell on earth . . . the stories of Catholic military chaplains.
