Three More Books
After
publishing (Wipf and Stock), Thanks: Giving and Receiving Gratitude for
America’s Troops: A Soldier’s Stories, A Veteran’s Confessions and A Pastor’s
Reflections, I plan at least three more books. In first draft are both: Spiritual
Insight Training for Veterans (SIT) and Vows+: How to Plan and What to
Say at Your Wedding. Partway finished is: God and America’s Wars. I
also am planning a DVD on Christian Symbolism
Spiritual Insight Training for Veterans (SIT) will be a workbook for groups of veterans in
peer-to-peer sessions to apply the “Techniques” of “Spiritual Direction” or
“Theological Reflection” to Issues particular to America’s Current and Past
Warriors.Techniques include: Spiritual Reading, Prayer,
Worship
Self-Emptying/Fasting, Confession, Hospitality, Developing
an Ethos-Group Cohesion, Morale and Discernment. Issues particular to America’s Current and Past
Warriors include: The Reality of War; Moral injury, PTSD, Disconnection (Both
from Non/Military Persons and from “Different” Veterans), A “Just” War/Military
Ethics” A Proper Mission for America, the Temptation to kill officers, The
Charge: God was AWOL during Vietnam, and The Sense that, “My Soul is Damaged”
Vows+: How to Plan and What
to Say at Your Wedding is a guidebook for grooms and brides. God
and America’s Wars. is a historical/theological work. My DVD on Christian
Symbolism features the artwork of United University Church on the north
edge of the university of Southern California’s campus.
