Riassunto

Do you ever sit in church letting the sermon go in one ear and out the other? Fifty years ago I heard some of these sermons. Yet, only in recent years, with the text in front of me, was I able to absorb the meaning of GETTING OURSELVES TOGETHER IN ONE PIECE and actually finish editing this book of sermons! The sermon STEWING INSTEAD OF DOING whose title brought us so many laughs has vanished without a trace. We are very fortunate, however, to have the manuscripts from which A Year with Chaplain Cheatham was taken. Reading and rereading these sermons with their references to army life, psychological insights, and a reasonable approach to religion, brings us to a better understanding of the abundant life we are meant to live.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Rev. Dr. Richard B. Cheatham was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 16, 1916. He later moved with his family to Florida, where he grew up and graduated from the University of Florida. He went on to Lexington Theological Seminary, where he graduated first in his class. In Lexington, he met his wife, Louise Robertson, the niece of his Old Testament professor, Dr. Charles Lynn Pyatt. “Dick” Cheatham (as he was baptized) joined the Army when World War II started, and served as a chaplain for 20 years. He retired as a colonel and then earned a PH.D. in counseling psychology at American University. At that time, he was the minister at Fairfax Christian Church in Fairfax, Virginia, and was a counselor at Georgetown University. Later, he taught at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California, and then opened his own counseling practice first in Oakland and then in Carmel. He counseled people with all sorts of personal problems and was one of the few psychologists in the Bay area who was willing to work with people who had alcohol problems. His two heroes were Jesus and Freud. He retired to Williamsburg, Virginia. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
