The handbook illustrates practical applications of the art of chaplaincy and provides a framework for navigating entry into the profession that occurs at both the professional chaplain and church level. This resource is designed for teachers who instruct individuals considering professional chaplaincy. The hope is to encourage and assist evangelical Christians who feel called to the ministry of professional chaplaincy to enter and successfully practice their ministry. The reason for the handbook is the author's observation, working seventeen-plus years as a professional chaplain, that God is using professional chaplaincy in a multicultural reality to reach the unchurched, the minimally churched, and those who are not currently having their needs met by the traditional form of church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Ruiz serves as a pastor and a board-certified chaplain (BCC) and holds a DMin from Ashland Theological Seminary.
