author, advocate for openness and education about mental health issues. and a devoted mother and church leader. >> i think of the story of tina in my book, she reached a point she is going to take her own life and jump off a bridge. why do we have to suffer more than once? like doesn't the lord get our attention is that not enough, in the book,y you see people testify to suffering over and o over and they don't loss their faith or they regain it. >> i think that people who do that, are people who have taken jesus words seriously. in john 16:33 in this world, he never promised a world without problems, in this world you will have tribulation. but take courage for i have overcome the world.
