As culture changes and becomes more secular, chaplains have become society's new \"pastors.\" Chaplains fulfill a sacred calling to accompany and provide professional support and spiritual nurture for everyone in their distinctive secular communities, which authorize and hold them accountable. A chaplain's ministry requires specialized knowledge, competencies, and an understanding of its unique opportunities and challenges. With forty-four contributors, The Heart of a Chaplain thoroughly examines what a chaplain is along with the foundations, uniqueness, and professional qualifications of chaplaincy. This book surveys six major chaplain categories, revealing the rich diversity of ministry. In addition to a mentoring tool and an extensive resource section, this second edition adds reflection questions, case studies, and several additional chapters, including a brief survey on the global nature of chaplaincy. The \"memorable moments\" of chaplains will leave you laughing or crying with joy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Heart of a Chaplain is a masterful, comprehensive work that is long overdue. The chaplaincy in all its applications owes a debt of gratitude to the creators and collaborators who made this dream come true.\u003c\/p\u003e --\u003cstrong\u003eDondi E.
