Suicide - David Wilkerson

I read this book when I was sixteen years old. I checked it out from the school library in the Nebraska High School I attended. I was doing a report for a class and decided 'suicide' was what I wanted to do the report about. I was at a point in my life where life made no sense to me and I was willing to blame it on anyone. I picked this book up and read it from front to back. I avowed at the end of the book that suicide would never be a part of my life as long as I had one good friend in my life. This book showed me that Jesus would always be that one good friend. And therefore I could never consider suicide. Recently a friend of ours told us that his wife had tried to commit suicide. I gave them my book. And now can no longer purchase one to replace it. I wish I could pass one out to all the people I know that feel so desperate that it could be the only answer for them. God Bless David Wilkerson and the good works he has knowingly and unknowingly accomplished through the words of this book.

excellent biblical study of the subject of suicide

This is an extremely insightful book into the mind of suicide- prone individuals. It also gives the cure for these tendencies by examining exerpts from the Bible, and applying them to the problems which potential suicide victims face.It is NOT just another "don't worry-be happy" book. It acknowledges the heartfelt and often legitimate pain which these people feel, and offers actual(Bible-based)methods by which to overcome the suicidal urge.Highly reccommended to everyone, even if you are merely "down-in-the-dumps", and not suicidal.Also reccommended is "Have You Felt Like Giving Up Lately?", also by David Wilkerson.

Compelling, biblical answers to the fatal urge

Is suicide an unpardonable sin? Is it a one-way ticket to hell?The author goes to the Bible for some very compelling answers to suicide. Suicidals, and those wanting to help them, will discover in this book some simple, yet powerful answers to this growing problem.David Wilkerson discusses "spoon" suicide, double suicide, and sudden suicide, offering a cure for loneliness. He brings to life Bible characters who went to the brink and came back and shows the way to find a cure.
