Suicide. It’s a cold, frustrating and gross word. When you hear it, someone comes to mind, someone personal. 130 people everyday will take their own life in America. About 5 an hour. Thats the highest percent per population - more than any other country. That’s not including accidental overdoses. “Hope Always is a guide for people who currently deal with, have dealt with, or will deal with suicide. It is for people who are struggling with suicidal ideation and the friends, family, colleagues, and church leaders who love them. At its core, this book is both an argument for life and a plan for preventing suicide. Throughout these pages, I will offer you a perspective not typically found in books about suicide. Here we will focus on why people did not commit suicide rather than on why they did. We will also examine the limitations of statistics and dig deeply into the role of faith in preventing suicide.” - Dr. Sleeth. Buy the book on Amazon.com
