Overview

Teens are living on the edge. Life is tough. Bad things happen. To them. To those they love and care about. They wonder what's coming next. They're scared, anxious, angry, and sad. They try, but never feel good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough. They wear masks. They try to fit in. They hide and live lies. There's a fierce battle going on in theirminds. Their hearts are at stake. This is a battle they must win. For more than 30 years, multiple award-winning author, speaker, and grief counselor Gary Roe has been helping teens and adults heal from past wounds, discover who they are, and live with passion and purpose. With more than a dozen books and 600 articles in print, he has become a trusted, inspirational voice to thousands of wounded hearts. ""Life is about overcoming,"" Gary frequently says. He is determined to help youth face their battles, beginning with this book. In Living on the Edge, teens will learn... Why they struggle with feelings of sadness, worthlessness, or hopelessness at times. How their struggles come from lies they've been fed and embraced along the way. How to identify the specific lies tripping them up and keeping them stuck. How to begin to replace these lies with the truth. How to deal with self-harming or suicidal thoughts that can derail their lives. Where to go from here to become the Difference Maker they were meant to be. It's time to help teens move from walking on the edge of a cliff to living on the edge of their seats. There is much to look forward to. More than they realize. And we can help. Living on the Edge is the first of four books included the Suicide Prevention Project, an initiative spearheaded by the author. It will be a valuable and practical resource for schools, parents, churches, youth workers, counselors, and all who live or work with teens.
