"Experience the battlefields of Iraq through the eyes of an army chaplain. Army chaplain Owen Chandler tells the stories of the men and women serving our country in combat zones around the world -- a life few of us know, but thousands of Americans experience every day. As an "embedded presence of hope" Chandler candidly describes the struggle to hold onto faith and hope amid the brutalities of war and the isolation of being deployed. His honest stories build bridges of compassion and care to those who sacrifice everything for their country--the active duty, reservists, and veterans living in the shadows of America's perpetual wars."--Back cover.
