"The Christ Chaplain: The Way to a Deeper, More Effective Hospital Ministry is an instructive guidebook for health care chaplains who struggle with the high levels of stress that have become commonplace in modern medicine as they work longer hours for lower wages - yet get to spend less time with patients. This unique book from Father M. Basil (Robert) Pennington, who passed away in 2005, cuts to the real heart of the matter - job burnout - by emphasizing not what a chaplain does, but what a chaplain is. This guide teaches chaplains how to achieve better spiritual health by practicing spiritual self-care through centering prayer."--BOOK JACKET.
