This may be the most important, authentic, and enjoyable volume yet
written on moral injury. Each deliciously crafted essay explores
new territory in the moral injury landscape using passages from
ancient and revered writings as guides. The whole powerfully
affirms the role of moral living-and its sometimes heartbreaking
challenges-in the center of human experience.
