"Chaplain (Major) Ret. Paul Lynn’s impactful contributions to the development of the Spiritual Readiness Initiative (SRI) stand out as a pioneering effort during my tenure as the Chief of Chaplains. In the face of the pressing challenges surrounding suicide and the imperative for readiness and a resilient spirit, Paul’s innovative approach has proven instrumental. I am convinced that a deepened sense of spirituality is critical to navigating these crises, offering individuals the profound sense of meaning that is pivotal to overcoming adversities. It brings me immense joy to witness the ongoing progression of his work in this book. The enduring impact of this work underscores the transformative role of spirituality and to forge resilient paths forward."
