Fierce Goodbye : Living In The Shadow Of Suicide
$10.99
What does the Bible say on the topic of suicide? What does it not say? G. Lloyd Carr, now professor emeritus of biblical and theological studies at Gordon College, Mass., began to ask these questions after a precious daughter-in-law died by suicide. He embarked on a thorough canvassing of the scriptures and church history on this topic, which helped him on his grief journey.
His poet wife, Gwendolyn C. Carr, who has published poetry in several magazines and is the author of Stars And Songs and Diamonds In A Daisy Field, found solace in writing out her responses and thoughts in moving, sensitive poetry. Their combined efforts in this destinctive book meld the pain and poignancy of the devastating experience of a family member’s suicide with expertise from their respective professions.
This book is first and foremost a penetrating account of a family dealing with suicide, and offers solid guidance for those who worry about the eternal fate of a loved one. It also provides a reliable and readable summary of Christian thinking about suicide, useful for pastors, counselors, students and teachers.
