A Must for all Chaplains

This book was recommended by a teacher in a Chaplain class and it has become a very valuable reference book for me doing hospital work.

Short, invaluable details

This is an excellent, short, succinct outline of a variety of world religions that will be useful for anyone doing cross-cultural ministry in any setting but especially helpful in a healthcare situation.
