Raquel Thiebes has been blogging about military life and everything that goes with it since 2007. Whether you want to know it or not, she’ll tell you about it! She was an Army brat growing up, was a soldier herself and married into the military. She won’t tell you her exact age but suffice it to say that she has 40+ years of experience with all things Army. Find her blog at http://lifelessonsmilitarywife.blogspot.com.

Sheri Snively, who served as a chaplain with the U.S. Navy, has crafted a vivid, unsettling, and ultimately hopeful personal account of the effects of the Iraq war on soldiers and civilians in Heaven in the Midst of Hell. As she served with the Marines working amid the boredom, tension, and seemingly meaningless carnage at a trauma hospital between Ramadi and Fallujah, Commander Snively experienced firsthand the grim reality of combat. As she recounts the way she and the soldiers around her experience war, she negotiates a compassionate path to healing—marked not by formulaic answers, but by an open and questioning spirit.
