My Life as an Army Chaplain

By Grover G Devault

Chaplain Grover DeVault stands as a testament to the ideals of Army service and Christian faith. Dedication and compassion are woven into the very fabric of his life. Amidst challenging life events, his faith and his family stood resilient. You will be challenged, encouraged, and inspired by his story of life as an army chaplain . Dr. DeVault's memoir is an historical account of his chaplaincy during the Vietnam conflict, the 9/11 terrorist attack in NYC, and the Lancaster Amish school shooting. It portrays an honest emotional rollercoaster from his Vietnam experience on the front lines through his reception back on the home front and after reentry. His story exposes a powerful journey of faith, witness, and service. The book moves between biographical chapters, original journal entries from his Vietnam days, and teaching articles on a number of topics relevant to his service back in the United States. Additional elements include testimonials, awards and citations, final thoughts, a chaplain's prayer, recommended reading, and a letter to the reader. The book contains over 60 pictures from boyhood through his golden years. Readers will delight in the retelling of his experience under an ice cap in Greenland, which resulted in his first award, the Army Commendation Medal...and tales of raising his four daughters. After retiring from the Army, Dr. DeVault's days have been filled with additional service as a college professor, chaplain with the police, and leadership coach for local businessmen. From a plethora of experience, he teaches the reader about PTSD, forgiveness, accountability, grief and loss, thanksgiving, love, and more. Join the author as he recounts tough situations and sincere conundrums, such as how a loving God could permit the Vietnam conflict, the 911 terrorist attack, and the Amish school massacre, and how to point others to this God of grace and mercy. Prepare yourself to be challenged, moved, and inspired.
