Summary
Details

Although most church leaders honor their veterans, many may not truly understand the issues of returning warriors, be consciously aware of the aid the church can and should offer to returning warriors, and how important the role of the pastor, fellow veterans, and the congregation is in helping the warrior find grace, peace, and forgiveness.

Dr. James Taylor, a seasoned chaplain and military veteran, shares real-life stories and other insights that guide pastors through the process of providing soul care to veterans returning to civilian society after serving their country. He focuses on the pastors' awareness of themselves and their historic authority to provide spiritual care, helps them understand the emotional and cultural move that occurs as one enters military service, links the soul wounding found in scripture and church history with combat events, introduces acceptance and commitment therapy as a values-based system, provides theological understanding and support for soul care to be seen as a pastoral issue, and offers biblical examples of moral injury. Included are insights on how pastors can offer support for wounded souls through spiritual reintegration and restoration of the soul.

Moral Injury provides an understanding of military life and trauma to help pastors and their congregations understand their unique role in supporting soul wounded veterans return home from serving their country.
