Additional information
by John W. Walton (Author)
Dr. Walton says, "I had a hard time finding useful information from chaplains that had been 'in the trenches, ' so I wrote this book intending it to be a single source for those that want information that will assist them in attending to the spiritual and physical needs of the seriously ill." Everyone will face serious illness or death of a loved one. Dr. Walton is a graduate of the University of Minnesota, and Newburgh Theological Seminary and College of the Bible. He did his pastoral internship at a Missionary Alliance Church, but he claims no denomination. "The Holy Bible is the only authority I require." His love for those in imperfect physical or emotional health led him to pursue the chaplaincy. Dr. Walton is academically prepared, and is experienced with over 7,000 counseling and medical facility visitations. The material in this book will prepare you to help the spiritually needy, and the presentation of the material is almost certain to bless you and strengthen your faith.
