13 Reasons Why You Should Not Commit Suicide

by Todd Friel

It feels like you've been drowning in an ocean forever. You aren't just sinking; it feels like someone is shoving your head under water. You swim harder, but you just can't get closer to shore.

You yell at the top of your lungs, but nobody hears you. You're exhausted, starting to slip under, and suicide feels like your only raft to peace.

You used to believe there was hope somewhere. Might I beg you to believe that once more? The booklet you are holding can rescue you before the waves crash over your head for the last time.

Seriously, what do you have to lose?

[Jocelyn Santos · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a hard pill to swallow for some. As someone who has firsthand experience on the issues of depression and suicide, it took a lot for me to finish this book. First off, what this book is not is a get quick reading book to make the world better. There is no fluff in this book, but a lot of truths. And some might make you angry to think about, but the truth has to be said to help. Did I hate this book? No, not even in the slightest. It spoke truths that not even I could see. Things that made me realize why I suffered in silence for so long. I have peace in knowing that something is there to take this feeling away. Now there is more to known than just reading this book and expect to get better magically overnight. So take the time to read through this slowly and if you are worried please read this with a friend. Some things of the truth are hard to realize, but it helped me see things I didn't even know were still a problem. I loved this book and will recommend this to anyone willing to listen

It was a helpful book. The author articulated well of the gospel answers our questions of hopelessness, fear, etc. However, I would like to see more detail for helping Christians who are facing the challenges.

This concise book (titled with an obvious play off the infamous Netflix series) lists reasons why suicide is never the best option. It calls the reader to life, helping each to see the broader picture than depression and suffering paints. Recommended for counseling and outreach.

This was a great book. Full of hope and a message of living the life God has planned for you

I think if you know someone struggling with suicide you should engage and talk to them rather than hand them a tract but in the instance where that same person sees this on a table and picks it up it could be what that person needs.
