SEWELL, N.J., July 11, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Bruce Sofia, Founder and Senior Pastor of the Gloucester County Community Church, is pleased to announce the completion and arrival of his first book, "Hope Beyond Suicide." This book is the first of four written by Dr. Sofia in the "Hijacked Life:Rescue Your Dream" series distributed by Yorkshire Publishing.

"Hope Beyond Suicide" is a book unlike many others written about this sensitive and often controversial subject. An easy read with practical application, the thread contained in its pages offers hope to the hurting portraying God's love and compassion for each one of us. As suicide rates continue to increase throughout America, especially amongst our youth, military and minority communities, "Hope Beyond Suicide" offers hope and healing to a world swirling with confusion, doubt and despair.

This book was birthed from over three decades of experience helping families cope with the loss of a loved one due to suicide. The questions resulting from such a loss are many and often complex: Why? Where was God? Who is to blame? Could someone have done more? Will he or she go to heaven? Is there hope beyond suicide?
