The Sole Balm II Elmon Krupnik

Life... Liberty... Leadership

The SOLE Balm II - Musings from the Pulpit, reveals a different aspect of the insightful and inspirational guidance from Chaplain Elmon Krupnik. Although these intuitive musings have a similar tone to the first book, The SOLE Balm - A Chaplain's Musings, this literary work is unique as it is focuses on three main challenges: Life, Liberty and Leadership. This book reveals a "behind the scenes" glimpse into the heart and mind of a servant of God and Country. What life lessons influence and impact a sermon on Sunday, Chaplain Krupnik shares all. This book provides thought-provoking lessons to help draw us closer to God and guide us in our every-day lives.
