In the growing field of sport chaplaincy, resources to guide chaplains in their day-to-day ministries are few. The Field Guide to Sport Chaplaincy fills that gap. Whether you are wondering how to introduce yourself to a sports team, trying to build rapport with athletes, coaches, or their families, or ministering during challenging times, the Field Guide to Sport Chaplaincy has you covered. Chaplains frequently bring hope, encouragement, and comfort in many of life's most challenging circumstances; the Field Guide offers instruction around ministering during injury and tragedy, explaining how the chaplain can bring God's presence, hope, and encouragement into times of stress-to nonbelievers and believers alike. For daily duties, the Field Guide provides advice for gaining trust, disciple making, and conducting sport chapels. For celebratory times and times of mourning, it provides a step-by-step guide for officiating at weddings and funerals. Meant as a quick reference resource, the Field Guide directs the sport chaplain in all aspects of their ministry. Written by a chaplain for other chaplains, the Field Guide is predictably laid out, so you can find information quickly-as the need arises. Personal stories from the author's experience guide you into the practical application of the biblical principles that are foundational to the ministry. Bulleted lists ensure that you can scan the material, gathering knowledge quickly and in easily digested chunks. This succinct, hands-on guide equips the sport chaplain to help meet the athlete's unique needs within their unique lifestyles.
