Everything Matthew Sleeth writes is a combination of gentle realism, biblical insight, and compassion. Given the pain and complexity swirling around suicide, a book on the topic needs all these in spades. Once again, Sleeth has delivered. This is a must-read book for those who need wisdom and hope in the face of grief or despair.

Hope Always sounds an appropriate, biblical warning and yet provides ultimate hope to anyone considering harming themselves. Dr. Matthew Sleeth’s insightful, easy-to-read book is also a much-needed manual for all who attempt to counsel troubled souls battling despair. Those of us who are in Christian ministry would do well to have a dozen copies of this timely book on hand, ready to share with any who are even remotely contemplating suicide or with family members devastated by it.

Matthew Sleeth’s mission for Hope Always is to save lives. He helps us understand what we can really do in our personal lives and faith communities to help people avoid “the voice of demons beckoning.” These are certainly stressful times, and many are questioning themselves and the world around them. I wish I’d had this book a few years ago. It might have made the ultimate difference in helping me help someone persevere. It certainly will in the future.
