200 reasons not to die, or simply just 200 more excuses to live. You're reading this book because you want to find a reason to stay. After my book is complete, if none of my reasons are good enough to convince you to stay alive, do whatever it is you were going to do if you never found a reason why to stay. To become aware there are people out there with suicidal thoughts and to try to help the people who need it most. This is only to help the word become aware of suicide, and I know that this can't stop everyone but I'm hoping it will help you think twice before going for the knife.

These are the stories of people facing impossible odds. Surviving suicide attempts. Overcoming overdoses. Learning to trust in other people after being betrayed. Learning to love after being hurt by everyone they loved. These are the stories of just a few of the works of God. These are the stories of the United Church, the Body of Christ, of any person who wants to show that God is stronger than the cold world that we live in. We need YOU to help us by sending us your story. Together, we can make a statement against the whole world, that we will not falter or fall, and that the same glimpse of love that has saved our lives can do the same to anyone, and everyone, who asks.
