Author Description

This book is about encouraging those who care for others. John C. Vaughn, best-selling author of More Precious than Gold writes from his perspective as a veteran pastor and police chaplain. Courage & Compassion offers help and hope to officers who wonder: "Will God forgive me for taking a human life in the line of duty? What should a Christian officer do about deceiving a suspect to gain incriminating information? What can chaplains and churches do to minister to officers while they minister to others? Is law enforcement really a ministry?" Drawn from his doctoral research on military and law enforcement chaplaincy and illustrated from Chaplain Vaughn's personal experiences, these and other questions are addressed. Readers will find answers and practical help based on biblical principles. - Back cover.
