Still Being Written

What if the chapters you are most ashamed of are the very ones God wants to use?

In Still Being Written, David Meek invites readers into a life marked by brokenness, resilience, and extraordinary grace. He takes you back to the streets of East Bakersfield, where childhood was shaped by poverty, instability, family wounds, violence, and the relentless search for acceptance. Through deeply personal stories, David reveals how the choices made in those early years echoed through every season that followed.

By seventeen, convinced his future had already been written, David stood at the edge of despair. But what looked like the end of his story became the beginning of a journey that would change everything. Through the unwavering love of Pastor Ron and Debbie Vietti, the compassion of people who believed in him before he believed in himself, and the relentless pursuit of a God who never gave up on him, David discovered that redemption is not reserved for perfect people-it is written into the lives of those willing to keep taking the next step.

More than a memoir, Still Being Written is a story of perseverance, forgiveness, healing, and hope. It is an honest account of learning to overcome childhood trauma, struggling to read and succeed in school, serving twenty years as an Army officer, building a career as a special education teacher, losing nearly everything, and discovering that failure is never the final chapter when grace is holding the pen.

If you have ever felt too broken, too far gone, or convinced your past has disqualified your future, this book will remind you of a life-changing truth:

Your story is not over. God does His best work in unfinished stories.
