Chaplain Mark H. Stevens

Mark Stevens is the Author of "When God Hides His Face" a handbook dealing with grief, suicide, and PTSD. A victim of PTSD himself, having served 23 years in the USAF in Combat Mobility Units as an Airfield Manager and Satellite Radio Operator. He served in Somalia, Desert Storm, Panama, Honduras, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. I chose to develop this thesis to assist people that minister to the sick, the dying, and the people that have been affected by the careless words and insensitivity of others. I have experienced pain and tragedy in my own personal life and as a Hospital Chaplain and Prison Minister I have seen my fair share of pain. I spent 23 years in the Air Force and I have seen the effects of war and death.
