Help bring combat veterans all the way back home. Over a half million combat veterans have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. With thousands of military personnel still deployed, few communities escape the direct impact of solders returning from war. Yet their needs and the needs of their families are often hidden in plain sight in our congregations and communities. This book identifies specific needs of veterans and their families and gives creative and practical ways your church can minister to them. It is a 'œmust have'� for anyone serious about giving back to those who have given so much. Chapters include: Soldiers and Their Families in Our Midst: Who Are These People? The Soldier's Life: Why Is it So Hard to Come Home from War? Military Family Challenges: Living in a Warrior Culture The Wounds of War: Unique Challenges for Wounded War Veterans and Their Families Comforting Those Who Mourn: Ministering to Families of Military Casualties Onward Christian Soldiers: Moral and Spiritual Issues Facing Soldiers and Their Families Putting Feet to Our Faith: Creating a Military Family Friendly Church
