ADVANCED PRAISE FOR THE BOOK…

Simply put A Bridge in Babylon is a ‘must read’ for every church leader whose congregations and classrooms include veterans, military reservists and military family members. This intimate and authentic record of one chaplain’s deployment and return home clearly demonstrates the joys, frustrations, sacrifices, doubts, fears and successes of ministry within highly diverse, pluralistic, and often, lethal environments.
-Kyle Fauntleroy, M.Div., Captain, Chaplain Corps, USN (Ret.)

With both humor and hope, he offers a blueprint for congregations to better support soldiers and their families as we wake up to the terrible cost of war upon the soul of our nation.
-Rev. Alison Harrington, Southside Presbyterian Church, Tucson, AZ

A master storyteller – with an ear like Raymond Carver’s, an eye like Tim O'Brien’s, and a heart like Carolyn Forché’s – Chandler proffers a gift we didn't know we needed so desperately: compelling inspiration to care with renewed commitment for soldiers whom we have sent into “perpetual war.”
-Robert Lee Hill, Community Consultant and Pastor Emeritus of Community Christian Church , Kansas City, MO
