Case studies of two veterans contemplating suicide are described. The veterans were a 39 yr old Marine Corps Gulf War veteran, and a 52 yr old military nurse. Their suicidal intentions subsided as a result of a rekindling of their Christian faith. Although their Christian beliefs were awakened following their attendance at a motion picture, they both attributed the remission of their suicidal intentions to the practices of their Christian faith in their lives. Despite the favorable outcome, these findings are not generalizable to other cases.
