Help Us Hope
Using the Transformative Power of the Gospel to Rescue Your Loved Ones from Despair, Depression, and Suicide
A teenage daughter, once lively and energetic, is now sullen and withdrawn. A sister or friend stops returning your calls and messages. A regular Sunday School attendee suddenly drops out. A woman who appears to have it all unexpectedly takes her life. Another news story breaks off an accomplished pastor committing suicide. Aware of it or not, we all know someone who is struggling with suicidal thoughts and hopelessness. Often, we feel powerless or ill-equipped to help. As suicide rates increase, particularly among our teenaged children, we, the body of Christ, not only have a desire, but also a responsibility to help those who are drowning in hopelessness. In “Help Us Hope” Tehya Duckworth invites us to step into the fog with our tormented loved ones with the light and power of the Gospel. Drawing from her own battles with depression and suicidal ideation, she offers us a glimpse into the thoughts and feelings of those suffering this affliction and provides us practical and Biblical guidance on how to walk with our loved ones through their valley of the shadow of death.
