Suicide Among Kingdom Believers in the Black Church: What the Saints Aren't Testifying About - Hardcover

Why is the topic of suicide considered to be taboo in the body of Christ? While the church has countless funerals per year, the topic of death by suicide goes untouched. How can we reach the hurting if we ignore the topic of suicide? More importantly, the statistics on the suicide rate in the Black Church are at an all-time high. Bishops, Pastors, congregants, and even youth in the church are taking their own lives. Dr. Curtis T. Bracy's qualitative and quantitative research, which was presented to the Christian Bible Institute and Seminary as part of his dissertation entitled, "Suicide Among Kingdom Believers in the Black Church," provides the church with solid research findings and recommendations on how to address the topic of suicide from a Christian counseling and psychology perspective. Bray's research findings were gathered from several congregations within the Black church. This book will become a classic for decades to come!
