Tina West knows firsthand that if one struggles with negative experiences in life, there's hope to be found in Christ. In 1967, at the beginning of her sixth-grade year, West's stepfather shot her mother to death. Be Still shares West's story and how she relied on Christ through it all to change her family tree forever.

In Be Still, a memoir by Tina West and her daughter Lyndie Metz, West offers her sincere reflections on growing up motherless and the role her faith played during these difficult times. Metz discusses the effects these experiences had on her as a daughter and how she's looked to her mother as an example in how God uses each of us to bring hope, encouragement, and love into the lives of others.

Sharing motherhood from both sides, this open and honest memoir and spiritual guidebook communicates there is hope for those suffering from the ups and downs of life.

Tina West has endured unspeakable tragedy, yet not only speaks of it, but unpacks how through it all, she remains anchored and comforted by Jesus. Her compelling memoir is more than a story, but a mission to help others not only survive, but thrive. Her daughter, Lyndie Metz, details how her mother's unwavering faith impacts her own life. Grab a comfortable seat.
You're unlikely to put this book down.
