Noted Orator and Author, Shatina C. Barr, speaks out about faith and suicide and other relevant issues in mental health and society as a whole. See direct quote from this book on such matters below:
“Jesus Christ Himself, when dealing with the knowledge of His impending crucifixion was so overcome with emotion that He could have died from the stress alone.
“…Jesus told his disciples, “sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James, and John with him. He plunged into a sinkhole of dreadful agony. He told them, “I feel bad enough right now to die…” (Mark 14:32-34, MSG).”
For the professional or licensed practitioner, the suggested techniques in this book offer an additional lens for viewing clinical practice. For the lay person or user of behavioral health services, this book offers support for clients that prefer their faith be represented while in treatment.
