If You Only Knew
By Heidi Jost
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 these pages 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 desire is to give you 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 both will transform you.”
