DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is estimated that each suicide directly affects at least six other people, meaning that one in every 65 Americans are directly affected by suicide. As a pastor, Rev. Dr. J. Bruce Sofia has seen too many lives “hijacked” by suicide. In his book, Hope Beyond Suicide, Sofia compassionately calls attention to one of the most important and controversial questions facing the Church today. “‘Will a person who commits suicide go to Heaven?’ Or maybe the question is better worded: ‘Will a person who commits suicide go to Hell?’” Rev. Dr. Sofia offers the biblical perspective to accompany the true life stories of parishioners who took their own lives while also incorporating the stories of six biblical figures who took their own lives: King Saul, King Saul’s armor bearer, Ahithophel, King Zimri, Judas Iscariot and Samson. If you or someone you know is struggling to cope with the suicide of a loved one, or to answer the difficult questions about the relationship between suicide, Jesus, and eternal life; Hope Beyond Suicide, then this book will undoubtedly prove itself to be an invaluable gift and resource.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShe wanted to die. God had other plans. Overwhelmed by wave after wave of emotional trauma, Kristen Anderson no longer wanted to live. One January night, determined to end her pain once and for all, the seventeen-year-old lay across train tracks not far from her home and waited to die. Instead of peace, she found herself immersed in a whole new nightmare. Before the engineer could bring the train to a stop, thirty-three freight cars passed over her at fifty-five miles per hour. After the train stopped and Kristen realized she was still alive, she looked around—and saw her legs ten feet away. Surviving her suicide attempt but losing her legs launched Kristen into an even deeper battle with depression and suicidal thoughts, as well as unrelenting physical pain—all from the seat of a wheelchair. But in the midst of her darkest days, Kristen discovered the way to real life and a purpose for living. For anyone struggling to find the strength to go on, the message of this heart-wrenching yet hope-building book is a clear and extraordinary reminder that even when we give up on life, God doesn’t give up on us. Includes notes of encouragement from Kristen and resources for suicide prevention.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
