NEW YORK—October 10, 2017—Morgan James’s new book release, Stepping Up: Finding Healing for Your Life and Hope for the Future by Donalyn Powell, offers hope and encouragement to tweens, teens, and young adults contemplating suicide and engaging in self-destructive behaviors.
Stepping Up contains letters to the author from teenagers speaking about their struggles with suicide, depression, sex, drug addiction, pregnancy, abuse, bullying, and self-destructive behavior. Powell, a long-time youth and suicide prevention advocate, offers a personal and practical message amid dismal situations because she believes God has a purpose for each person only he or she can fulfill.
Powell shares how she discovered her calling from God, what she did to achieve her life’s purpose, and life experiences that shaped her religious perspective. She explains the process of going from hopeless to hope, from questions to understanding, from lost dreams to creating new ones as she instills hope and faithfulness to the teenagers writing to her. Powell’s spiritual journey enables her to advise teenagers the best course to take when they or someone they know attempts suicide, or engages in destructive behavior.
Stepping Up follows teenagers as they reveal their emotional pain amid their suicidal thoughts (or someone they know). It peeks into a teenager’s life and their problems and examines the outcome. Powell tells teenagers God is in control and that they must turn to him in everything they do and say.
For preteens, teenagers, and young adults experiencing suicidal thoughts and harmful behaviors, or know someone dealing with them, Stepping Up promotes healing, hope, and happiness.
