An editor had this to say:

â€œYour manuscript, by the way, is reading brilliantly. I think I jotted a margin note to this effect, but your summary of the different branches of the military had me snorting coffee out my nose. Yet I admired the deftness with which you use humor â€” you amuse without offending. Thatâ€™s a rare gift.â€

No word is wasted. Marshall begins with a synopsis of his personal story, and continues in a logical progression to cover the most important parts of being a military chaplain.

"After having read this book I feel my major questions were answered and some major concerns were alleviated. I appreciate the down to earth non-recruiting style of the book. It was informative without trying to pressure me into into the military chaplaincy. That being said, it did make me wish I was already a chaplain in the military. The humor of the book and how the rivalry between the branches was brought to light I rather enjoyed. This book is an excellent resource for anyone considering military chaplaincy."
