The second edition of this book has two brand-new chapters that focus on a practical strategy for using social media in ministry and in the military. The result is a comprehensive book about serving as Christian military chaplains in the twenty-first century. But it’s also applicable for any ministry, making this a much needed resource. The new content is worth the price of the whole book.
Plus, the authors invite you to contact them through their websites and social media. They have trained and mentored thousands of chaplains, pastors, and ministerial students in the United States and several other nations.
Drawing from their experience as pastors, chaplains, professors, endorsing agent, chaplain recruiters, and social media content creators, they provide a professional resource for anyone interested in ministry. Their records, qualifications, and expertise combine to provide a passionate and authoritative look at serving as military chaplains today. The book is well-researched, true to life, and up to date. It is unparalleled in scope.
This is a must-read for those interested in military chaplain ministry, but also for anyone who wants to know what it’s really like to be a Christian in uniform today. The authors cover everything: the worldwide history of chaplaincy and the American experience of military chaplains, the legal and constitutional issues, the qualifications and pitfalls, and how to set yourself up for successful and effective ministry. They show you in practical terms what it’s really like to be a Christian or a chaplain in the Navy, Army, and Air Force, including the wide variety of Reserve options.
Another feature that sets this book apart are the stories of real chaplains: real people, real situations, real problems, real failures, and real successes.
They don’t shy away from the difficult challenges, criticisms, and controversies. Instead, they take them head on with a professional and biblical approach. Every pastor, chaplain, college and seminary professor, and publicly informed Christian should have this book.

Safest Place in Iraq is a Christian book that tells the stories of men and women who encountered God during the war in Iraq, and includes testimonies of faith in Christ and answered prayer.
“When they told me where I was going, they said it was the Safest Place in Iraq, but by the time I got there, things had changed. Heat, danger, dust, and death formed the context for the job I was sent to do. Operating from the philosophy that “ministry follows friendship,” I built relationships among the men and women at Camp Echo. This allowed me to be there when they were at their best and when they were at their worst, in their strongest moments and in their weakest.”
Even on good days, living for Christ is a challenging, risk-laden endeavor. One way to make the task a bit easier is to see how other Christians have successfully navigated their temptations and struggles. Safest Place in Iraq aims to do just that, by peering behind the curtain and showing how one military chaplain handled the various dangers, people, and circumstances he encountered during his war-time deployment in South Central Iraq. The result is a story that ranges from death and destruction to friendship and faith, and from temptation and torment to redemption and revival.
Colonel Paul Linzey US Army Chaplain (Ret.) identifies the broad themes that everyone―both Christian and non-Christian―has to deal with when the going gets tough. He also shows by example what it takes to overcome life’s obstacles, whether dodging mortars in the desert, or fighting fear, loneliness, and temptation at home or at work. And in the process, Safest Place in Iraq shows that it is possible to remain true to one’s values and calling as a person of faith in a hostile world.
