Homecoming Workbook: Hearts On the Home Front
Written by the authors of "Down Range to Iraq and Back" (Dr. Bridget Cantrell and Chuck Dean), this workbook is designed to be used in group settings but is also a useful tool preparing anyone for homecoming and possible changes you might expect in your loved one. I highly recommend using the workbook and passing it on to others. Click here to download the workbook.
