The following is a list of literature recommendations that some of the chaplains have found effective in their ministry to the troops.  If you have any other resources that you would like to add, please email the Chaplaincy Department.  Please note that this list has merely been created for your convenience and for ministry ideas.  Although our office would like to be able to supply these resources, we are unable to do so at this time.
