Praise for the Print Edition

At Peace with War is one of the most thoughtful, authentic, frank, and honest accounts of what it means to be a chaplain in a theatre of operations in the twenty-first century. This book is a must-read for those contemplating a career as a military chaplain.

—David C. Kettle, chaplain general of the Canadian Forces, retired

This is a must-read for any military member, or their families, to help them come to grips with the spiritual challenges of wartime military service.

—Carl H. Krueger Jr., president, Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches, LCMS, U. S. Military, Retired

If you want to meet a workaday chaplain showing how faith and soldering can walk together, I recommend At Peace with War very highly indeed.

—Robert Bugbee, president, Lutheran Church-Canada
