The Chaplain Skill Set Series COLLECTION by Chaplain Keith Evans (2025)
The Series will touch upon the primary points which any minister should consider to become a highly skilled and competent chaplain. I am aware that this series may not be exhaustive for all the nuances of chaplaincy, but I will strive for it to be as comprehensive as possible in forming an effective foundation. The Series has a three-fold purpose. It is designed for: 1) individuals who are unfamiliar with the unique field of chaplaincy, 2) for laity or clergy who are discerning whether to go into chaplain ministry, and 3) for seasoned clergy and chaplains who simply want to revisit the tried and true skillsets which produce an excellence in chaplaincy. I will always attempt to give credit where credit is due as well as share the many resources which have been helpful in my own chaplain formation.The initial book in The Series reviews basic Fundamentals for chaplaincy. It answers four basic questions: "Why the need for Chaplains?" "What is Chaplaincy?" "Who can be a Chaplain?" and the most practical question for you, the reader, "How is chaplaincy administered? How does it work?" Then a chapter will attempt to succeed in "Bringing the Pieces Together" for you through the presentation of three clinical verbatims or chaplain encounters in various settings.
The second book delves into understanding aspects of human spirituality and looks into how the major world faiths as expressed. The third book explains the spiritual needs assessment that professional chaplains use to help determine what type of chaplain/pastoral intervention may be used. Multiple spiritual assessment models are explored. The reader will be able to glean questions that resonate with them to use to deepen spiritual conversations.
I hope you enjoy The Chaplain Skill Set Series COLLECTION.
