And She Was a Christian: Why Do Believers Commit Suicide?

By Peter Preus

How can Christians, who by definition put their eternal hope in Christ, seem to give up that hope and take their own lives? It's a question that we cannot begin to process without using the Bible as our starting point. In "And She Was A Christian," the author Peter Preus--writing from a solid scriptural perspective--addresses the theological issues involved with this paradox. Taken directly from God's Word, this book offers a helpful perspective on past views that often emphasized the law more than the gospel when addressing the paradox of Christians committing suicide. "And She Was A Christian" is aimed at pastors and teachers of the church, as well as Christian counselors who face this challenging situation. At the same time, Christians who have wrestled with this issue themselves will also gain many benefits from reading this book.
