So many people ask why their loved one would want to commit suicide or did commit suicide. I don't claim to have all the answers but I tried to take my own life several times and I have known several people that did take their life. I have personally had to battle with this demon for 22 years and one thing I discovered is this demon is like no other demon. So in this book I hope to expose this demon and explain why he is so powerful. Suicide has destroyed countless lives and is still working at destroying so many others lives. I hope and pray that reading this book will give you a better understanding of this spirit called suicide. In my first book, A PSYCHIC DISCOVERS JESUS, I explained the dangers of opening your self to demonic powers, but in this book, I hope will take you deeper in to understanding the reality of John 10:10.
