In war there are traumas to the soul that are not assuaged for the
warrior by even the most excellent psychological care, medical
interventions, and official support programs. Tending the Warrior
Soul helps to advance understanding of this soul damage, and offers
support, encouragement, lessons from personal experience, counsel,
challenge, and resources to those God has called to care for
warriors' souls, as well as to the warriors themselves and their
loved ones. "Ministry to war experienced troops begins and ends
with a servant's heart ... We must "remake" our worldview, expand
our theological reference points, and accommodate our civilized
views about violence, cruelty, right and wrong to the uncivilized
applications of war. ... Neither God nor His commandments change,
for these are the anchor points, trustworthy and sure. ... Teaching
people to sort through the reality of God while sifting through the
ashes of soul, spirit, and mind burned in the consequences of war
is not "routine" business. Ministry to warriors is transformative."
From Foreword, by Colonel Mike Hoyt, Chaplain, U.S. Army, Retired.
Lou Harrison never dreamed of "writing a book," and was embarrassed
when it was suggested. The thoughts he had been writing down during
his years of ministry were for his own understanding and growth in
ministry to combatants. His words, advice and insight have been
tested for accuracy and usefulness through feedback from
war-experienced friends, extending from young grunts to ranking
line officers and chaplains.
