A Priest's Reflections from the Combat Zone
"Once in a while we have an opportunity to enter a story before the headline is written, before the smoke drifts off the scene or reports of casualties are picked up by wire services. News accounts of war may linger briefly and then be forgotten, but the grinding human drama is played by valiant men and women in a field hospital..."
--from the Foreword by George E. Packard, Bishop Suffragan for Chaplaincies
Courage is a unique and often silent by-product of war. In this bracing look at his tour of duty at a combat support hospital in Kuwait, U.S. Navy Chaplain Neal Goldsborough brings us face to face with the men and women who live and serve in the places where life holds on by only a thin thread. Interspersing uncompromising moments of stark wartime reality with reflections on the nature of life, death, evil, and an all-powerful God of love, he uncovers the holy and divine in a lethal battle area so easily capable of shredding limb and soul.
