    About this ebook

    "Living on the Edge is simple, smart, easy-to-read, and practical. No one is beyond repair. Anyone can heal. Everyone can make a difference. These are the messages we all need to hear." - Paul Casale, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Marriage & Family Therapist

    We're all living on the edge. 

    Life is tough. Bad things happen. To us. To those we love and care about.

    We wonder what's coming next. We're scared, anxious, angry, and sad. 

    We try, but never feel good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough. We wear masks. We try to fit in. We live lies. 

    We're on a downward spiral. Maybe you're on a downward spiral.

    You've felt this. Perhaps you're feeling it now.

    There's a fierce battle going on in your mind. Your heart is at stake. This is a battle you must win.

    It's time to expose the lies and embrace the truth. It's time to become who you really are.

    For more than 30 years, multiple award-winning author, speaker, and grief counselor Gary Roe has been helping teens and adults heal from past wounds, discover who they are, and live with passion and purpose. With more than a dozen books and 600 articles in print, he has become a trusted, inspirational voice to thousands of wounded hearts. "Life is about overcoming," Gary frequently says. Let him help you face your battles, beginning with this book.

    In Living on the Edge, you'll learn...
    * Why you struggle with feelings of sadness, worthlessness, or hopelessness at times.
    * How your struggles come from lies you've been fed and embraced along the way.
    * How to identify the specific lies tripping you up and keeping you stuck.
    * How to begin to replace these lies with the truth.
    * How to deal with self-harming or suicidal thoughts that can derail your life.
    * Where to go from here to become the Difference Maker you were meant to be.

    It's time to move from walking on the edge of a cliff to living on the edge of your seat. There is much to look forward to. More than you realize.

    The battle is raging. You can win it. Begin today...

      Living on the Edge - Gary Roe

      We’re All Living on the Edge

      Let’s be honest. Our world is less than terrific. Life is tough. It can be harsh.

      Bad stuff happens. To me. To you. To those we love and care about.

      We live on the edge. We wonder what’s coming next. We grab what good we can along the way – and sometimes climb over others to get it.

      We’re scared, anxious, angry, and sad.

      We try, but we’re never good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough.

      We’re more connected than ever but feel incredibly alone.

      No one understands. No one gets it.

      We wear masks. We try to fit in and be someone else. We live lies.

      We live in fight-or-flight mode.

      You’ve felt this.

      Maybe you’re feeling it now.

      We’re on a downward spiral.

      Maybe you’re on a downward
