Outside the Gates: Theology, History, and Practice of Chaplaincy Ministries
The great task before Christian workers, chaplains in particular, is to find a way to work within the systems of this world in order to redeem and sanctify those systems in the authority of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who sends them. Chaplains are present in some of the darkest, most impoverished, oppressed, and immoral places on this earth. Their mission is very to be present with the brokenhearted and needy, while working with and within the systems that affect the lives of those they seek to help.

My son is going to graduate very soon with a master's in divinity and will become a hospice chaplain. This book was so revealing about all the aspects of chaplaincy from history to current practice. This is THE textbook on the subject.
