Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
OA very worthwhile resource for those involved closely in the suicide/euthanasia debates. Many issues and perspectives just have not been 'thought-through' by the average Christian in the street, and it is up to those in positions of influence to use that influence to use that influence wisely, in a manner consistent with scriptural teaching and Christian worldviews. Suicide: A Christian Response is an excellent, in-depth evaluation of this most important issue. (Andrew M. Seddon M.D. Deaconess Billings Clinic )

Suicide: A Christian Response,
By Shell (Springfield, MO) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Suicide: A Christian Response: Crucial Considerations for Choosing Life (Hardcover)
This book is highly technical in talking about laws, especially involving New York, and also, courts. It is good to know the laws of the land regarding suicide, plus also learning the Christian side of dealing with this. I haven't read the entire book yet, but I'm working on it now.
