"The Book of Ethan" Takes on Teen Suicide From Spiritual Perspective

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - July 3, 2016 - PRLog -- "The Book of Ethan/God Confronts Teen Suicide" offers a spiritual perspective on the problem of suicide among teenagers, according to the new e-book's author Rev. Allen C. Liles.

"Suicide ranks as the third leading cause of death for the 13-19 age group, behind accidents and homicide," Rev. Liles said. "Depression, anxiety, peer pressure and bullying all can have a dramatic impact on a teenager's sense of well-being. 'The Book of Ethan' presents a fictional teenager thrust into crisis because of several major losses in his life. Sixteen-year-old 'Ethan' begins contemplating suicide as a way to end his pain. The book features a spiritual struggle between good and evil, each attempting to influence the teenager's final decision on whether or not to end his own life."

"In 'The Book of Ethan,' God takes on the satanic forces urging the teen to kill himself," Liles stated. "Ethan is shown the impact that suicide can have on his friends and family. He also receives a preview of how suicide affects events and individuals many years in the future. These are ramifications many teenagers fail to consider when thinking about suicide."

"In 'The Book of Ethan,' the outcome remains in doubt until the final moment," Rev. Liles concluded. "God and Satan engage in spiritual warfare right until the teenager decides whether to live or die."

Liles is also the author of "Sitting With God/Meditating for God's Divine Guidance", "The 12 Promises of Heaven", "Friends of Jesus", "E-Spiritual Rehab", "The Book of Celeste/A Prophecy for Today", and "The Book of Floyd/God Transforms a Racist".
