If Only You Knew: A true life account of bulimia, suicide, and a journey to hope

by Heidi Jost

145 pages. $10

From Back cover:

“The third possible path is the simplest. It involves very few pro’s and con’s and doesn’t include years [of struggle] in the future. It is a short path – suicide.” The girl had typed out all her fury of frustration at being the loser in this never-ending battle, and now her thoughts were coming forward, icy… detached.”

On October 19, 2001, my sister and closest friend, Katrina, committed suicide after several years of struggling with bulimia. She was 19 years old, a sophomore studying music and art at a Midwestern university. I still miss her so much, and long to see her again.

In this book you will…

• Meet Katrina and glimpse her struggles in her own honest words.
• Hear many things I’ve longed to tell her – truths that could have set her free as they did me. If you are battling some of the lies Katrina gave in to, I hope that what I write to her will help you.
• Join me on my journey through grief to joy, and discover how I found hope to carry on.

My purpose in writing this book is to give you a reassurance that out of His endless goodness, God is seeking to do what’s best for you. You can trust Him with your life.

“This is far more than a true story. It is a warning about the lies we can unknowingly begin to believe about God, as well as the devastating physical and spiritual dangers inherent in anorexia, bulimia, suicidal thoughts, and pornography. Mingled with the warning, however, there is also an inspiring message of God’s goodness, His trustworthiness, and the benefits of living by rules He has given for our protection and pleasure. I hope that you will be transformed by both.”

From the foreword by Dr. David Noebel, president of Summit Ministries and author ofUnderstanding the Times
