Be Still My Soul (Vine Books, 2003) is a collection of reflections on the Christian life that takes its title from one of Elisabeth Elliot's favourite hymns. Drawing on her experience as missionary, mother, wife, widow, radio host and speaker, she encourages readers to hand anxiety, worry and impatience over to God and to find rest in him. Revell later reissued it.
