36 Hours to Live - Tom Gnagey - Bog

Adapted from a teen's diary, this very bright, very sad, 16-year-old boy carefully chronicled the final 36 hours before swallowing the pills to end his life. "As depressing as the title may sound, this may well be the most positive and uplifting book teenagers and their parents could ever read." (So says Dr. Susan Crossman, Adolescent psychologist.) The diary is cradled between a forward that sensitively prepares the reader for what is to follow and a reassuring and inspiring epilogue that provides hope and purpose to guide and propel youngsters through life's darkest and most desperate moments. James Thurston, DD, clergyman, writes: "Few books for teens and parents, have ever made a more sensitive, convincing and honest statement about how precious life is and how fulfilling it can be." "[The book] quite convincingly makes the case the rest of life is well worth the most difficult struggles through bad times." Colleen Paulette, mother of four.
