Be Still, My Son - Paperback

by David Beagley (Author)

Author: ¬+ David Beadley Description:

Be Still, My Son¬+is the true story of a boy born into a typical Latter-day Saint family in the heart of Utah. In his youth, he enjoyed the blessings of living the gospel until his father became disaffected with the Church and sought polygamy as an alternative.

This story depicts the heart-wrenching emotions the boy experienced as he watched his family leave the Church for an austere fundamentalist lifestyle. He spent long, hot summers in the polygamist community of Short Creek, Arizona.

During the school year, he had to hide his true identity for fear that his family's underground lifestyle would be found out. When he turned sixteen, he escaped and entered an unknown world full of challenges. He relates how the Lord carefully guided him back to the Church with the promise that "life would be filled with constant rewards." A series of life-altering events taught him that we all must "learn to wait on the Lord and trust him." This is a powerful story of one man's journey to elusive happiness.
