Moral Injury & Redemption: Finding Strength in Faith and Support
Moral Injury & Redemption: Finding Strength in Faith and Support
Moral Injury & Redemption draws on years of military service to explore one of the most misunderstood wounds of war: the deep psychological, emotional, and spiritual pain that comes from violating one’s own moral code. Through research, real‑world experience, and pastoral insight, this book highlights three essential truths about healing from moral injury.
-
Faith and spiritual grounding are central to recovery, offering a framework for understanding guilt, shame, and moral conflict.
-
No one heals alone. Chaplains, family, friends, and faith communities play a crucial role in restoring hope and connection.
-
Moral injury is not the same as PTSD. Effective care requires recognizing the unique barriers, trust issues, and treatment needs faced by those carrying moral wounds.
This book provides a clear, compassionate path toward restoration — for service members, veterans, families, chaplains, and anyone seeking to understand the invisible burdens carried by those who serve.
