In the silence of her pain, she discovered the voice of God.
In Be Still and Listen, Ghitana W. Franklin invites readers into a deeply personal journey of faith, healing, and surrender. Through a moving collection of poems and reflections, she unveils a testimony of struggle and restoration—a woman’s battle through despair, betrayal, and brokenness, and the divine whisper that called her to stillness.
Each section—Despair & Hopelessness, Hurt, Angry & Unforgiveness, Seeking, Finding & Trusting, and Healing & Peace—mirrors the stages of a soul learning to let go and trust God’s will. The poems, raw yet redemptive, reveal moments of deep pain transformed into purpose, anchored by scripture and the constant reminder that God is near to the brokenhearted.
Franklin’s writing speaks directly to women who have endured emotional or physical pain, reminding them that forgiveness is not weakness but freedom. Like I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou or Poems on the Life of Faith by Helen Steiner Rice, this book resonates with those seeking renewal through spiritual resilience.
A raw and redemptive journey of pain, faith, and forgiveness, Be Still and Listen reveals how true healing begins when we quiet the noise and let God’s voice lead the way. -MainSpring Books
Her words echo Psalm 46:10—“Be still, and know that I am God.” In that stillness, she finds the beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and peace beyond understanding.
A testament of survival and surrender, this book reminds us that when we are still enough to listen, God’s healing voice can turn pain into purpose.
