The Balm of Gilead for Chaplains
By Sharon Mackenzie
Healing for Those Who Became Balm for Others
There is a time to carry, and a time to be cared for. The Balm of Gilead for Chaplains is for those who have spent themselves holding others — in hospitals, schools, prisons, defence, workplaces and communities — and now need their own balm.
Through reflective, faith-shaped restoration, Sharon Mackenzie invites chaplains to rest, release, restore and return. This is not a book about doing more. It is about becoming whole again so the work can continue without consuming the person who carries it.
