Redeeming Warriors: Veteran Suicide, Grieving, and the Fight for Faith (Joshua D. Hollar)

Description Product Details Redeeming Warriors Veteran Suicide, Grieving, and the Fight for Faith Twenty–two veterans take their own lives every day. The word ‘tragic’ only begins to describe the brokenness of this painful reality. Josh Holler, Marine Corps veteran and pastor, argues that veteran suicide is not primarily a problem born out of exposure to combat and PTSD, but out of a broken relationship between people and God. He tells some of the stories of men he has known and addresses the reality of the reason veteran suicide is such a problem. “… helpfully examines the issues, considers the situation, and suggests practical ways to help those at risk—and he does so from a biblical foundation. Read and share this book.” Lt.Col. Karl Johnson, USMC (Ret.), Director, C.S. Lewis Institute, Chicago & Senior Advisor, Ravi Zacharias Intl. Ministries “Josh Holler gives an excellent perspective on how the trauma of war, the comradery among enlisted warriors, and the grief of suicide intersect with the good news of the Gospel. I wish I could have read Redeeming Warriors before I deployed with the 821st TC BN in 2011. I think I would have been a better chaplain if I had done so.” J. Alan Branch, Professor, Christian Ethics, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri About Joshua D.
