Finding God in Vegas: A Gen X Spiritual Awakening

 Book Title in front of Las Vegas Strip


Finding God in Vegas:

A Gen X Spiritual Awakening


This is not another book about religion. It is a book about love. 

Finding God in Vegas tells the story of Don Young—a successful pharmaceutical executive who seemed to have it all: wealth, status, success. But behind the image was a man deeply unfulfilled, quietly crumbling under the weight of materialism, disillusionment, and spiritual emptiness.

Despite earning a master’s degree in theology, Don spent years rejecting anything that resembled spirituality. He swallowed the lies that told him happiness came from status, achievement, and control.

But in the most unlikely of places—Las Vegas—he experienced a spiritual awakening that shattered those illusions and led him to something far more powerful: Love.

Not the fleeting kind. Not conditional or performative. But the kind of love that heals. Love for self, love for others, and the unconditional love God has for all people.

Whether you're religious, spiritual-but-not-religious, skeptical, burned out, or simply searching for something deeper, this book is for you. It’s an invitation to rethink what matters, reconnect with your heart, and rediscover the truth that was always there: you are worthy of love.

With honesty, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, Finding God in Vegas reveals that it’s never too late to open your heart, shift your perspective, and live a life rooted in something deeper than worldly success: Love.

The love in this book is for the hurting. For the hopeful. For the seekers and the skeptics.

The love in this book is for you.

Be Still and Listen

 Young Woman looking into Space




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 & HopelessnessHurt, Angry & UnforgivenessSeeking, 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.
