Suicide is a growing tragedy in the US and in the church. We can stop the climbing numbers of suicide deaths, but it is going to take everyone working together, including the church.

Produktbeschreibung
Suicide is a growing tragedy in the US and in the church. We can stop the climbing numbers of suicide deaths, but it is going to take everyone working together, including the church. Without the church, suicidal people may not hear the life-affirming messages they need to hear. Without an informed church, people who have lost loved ones to suicide may leave the church. Too often, the church watches from the sidelines not knowing what to do. Why is it that the wider (secular) culture is more engaged in suicide prevention than God's people, especially given that Christians care deeply about the sanctity of life? The apostle Paul modeled suicide prevention for the church when he stopped the suicide of the Philippian jailer. But pastors and congregants may not know how to follow his example. The result is that people who struggle with suicide or who have lost loved ones to suicide wonder if the Bible or their church have anything relevant to say about suicide. This book will provide the resources needed to help prevent suicide in a church, even when a church does not want to start one more program.
Autorenporträt
Writing this book was a journey in search of answers. As a female livestock contractor who was labeled with major depression and serious anxiety, life has been a very difficult journey. My heart was broken into a million pieces, and I searched for answers within the rubble. Being a child of domestic violence and sexual abuse led to self sabotage. I learned who the shadow truly was, how we drag our traumas through our lives, unaware we are even doing it. There is self-help, yet self-awareness is critical to finding direction and clarity about who you truly are. The truest enlightening and awakening you will ever get in life is knowledge, yet without wisdom it will only ever be knowledge. We all hold wisdom within ourselves; it is about learning where to look. One of the hardest lessons in life, this woman found, was to truly look within herself without rose-colored glasses. What were her true desires, passions, or loves in her life? Who was she without the armor?
