In Sanctified from Suicide: The Biblical Perspective on How to Overcome the Temptation of Suicide, Dr. Michael Eaton offers a profound and compassionate exploration of one of the most painful struggles of the human soul—suicidal thoughts and despair—through the redemptive lens of Scripture.

Rooted in biblical truth and pastoral wisdom, this book addresses the spiritual and emotional causes of suicide as revealed through the lives of key figures in the Bible. From Ahithophel’s discredit to Zimri’s defeat, from Samson’s destitution to Judas’s crushing disappointment, Dr. Eaton reveals the hidden heartaches behind their decisions while pointing readers toward the healing and hope found only in Jesus Christ.

Each chapter examines a different emotional or circumstantial cause of suicidal temptation:

• Discredit

• Defeat

• Disgrace

• Destitution

• Desperation

• Disappointment

• Dishonor

• Disbelief

Through this framework, readers are invited to confront the deep wounds and lies that lead to hopelessness—and to discover God’s invitation to life, grace, and redemption.

Sanctified from Suicide is more than a theological exploration—it is a spiritual lifeline. Whether you are battling suicidal thoughts, supporting someone in crisis, or ministering to the brokenhearted, this book speaks life and light into the darkest places. With pastoral sensitivity and biblical clarity, Dr. Eaton calls the reader not only to endure—but to overcome through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ.
