Suicidal Kings: The Road to Redemption by Jeffrey Bruteyn, Ph.D.
"Suicidal Kings" is more than a book. It is an eye opener on life, and the tribulations that we as human beings must encounter. It produces a soul searching need that can only be satisfied by reading the next chapter and it lingers long after you finish the book. The way that Bruteyn utilizes Scripture, and masterfully combines it with history and his own life, is amazing. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, it's a great spiritual tool to humble us and accept that God has a plan for all of us." - C. Hernandez
"I found "Suicidal Kings: The Road to Redemption" to be a very readable book. It weaves the story of Bruteyn's life and experiences, especially his more recent ones, into a patchwork of Christian counseling and teaching. I met Jeffrey while we were both incarcerated, and quickly discovered that we felt the same sense of injustice at our treatment at the hands of the authorities. I mention this to demonstrate that I was able to read the book from an "inmate's" perspective. The book has 77 passages, each of which address a different topic, sufficient to provoke the reader to consider the relevance of the topic to their personal lives."-Paul G.
"Innovative, intriguing, deep, and personal! The title of this book immediately grabbed my attention. You will know why it's entitled what it is once you read the first few chapters. If you're a Christian and experiencing hard times, you will be inspired by the author's experiences and stories. Bruteyn masterfully links scriptures with issues and ideas, and his own testimony! Even if you're not a Believer, you will be enlightened and encouraged by the contents of this book. If you've ever been imprisoned, or merely felt as such, Suicidal Kings: The Road to Redemption, will offer you a wonderful perspective that will enable you to successfully cope with disappointment and unrelenting stress. Read and recommend to friends!"- Connie Sensenig
"How delighted" I am to see the book of Suicidal Kings: The Road to Redemption published! Jeffrey Bruteyn is a man of great character and intelligence. He has touched so many of us with his genius, and inspiring work. With great gratitude and honor, thanks Jeffrey, for allowing God to use you." - D. Hall
"The book is definitely worth a read and illustrates how the circumstances in our life can either be embraced or rejected. It shows that by embracing his situation, Bruteyn has been able to see, that despite his feelings of injustice, his period of incarceration has served him well in seeing things through a different perspective, by shining the spotlight on his deeper thoughts and motivations. As a reader, I found that the book opened me up to my own personal 'spotlight'. Whatever your personal situation, read the book and be prepared for God to give you your own 'spotlight' experience.
