An unfiltered story of addiction, prison, and the relentless love of God.
ABOUT TINA BASS
From homeless addict to hope-bearer.
“If God can meet me under a bridge, in a cell, and in a courtroom, He can meet you or your child right where you are.”
Before she was a Christian author and recovery leader, Tina Bass was a homeless addict staring down a 30-year prison sentence. Addiction had taken everything — her freedom, her dignity, her family — and left her under bridges, in jail cells, and in the kind of darkness you don’t post about on social media.
But in the middle of the consequences she fully deserved, Jesus met her. He didn’t clean up her story overnight — He walked her through withdrawals, courtrooms, amends, and the slow rebuilding of a life that addiction tried to destroy.
Today, Tina is a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, celebrating over 18 years of sobriety . For the past 10 years , she has served as the Director of P31 Recovery Homes , where she has walked hundreds of broken women through recovery, discipleship, and the painful but beautiful work of restoration.
Her calling is simple: to tell the whole truth about addiction and redemption so that nobody has to suffer in silence — not the addict, and not the family who loves them.
18+ years sober
Still walking out daily dependence on Jesus.
Director · P31 Recovery Homes
A decade of leading women from brokenness to purpose.
THE BOOK
Meet Me on The Other Side
An unpredictable, unfiltered story of loss, consequences, the messy reality of making amends, and ultimate redemption.
This isn’t a polished church testimony. It’s the story of a girl whose pain started long before her first high. Of court dates and cold metal bunks. Of children who suffered, families who grieved, and a woman who kept running until there was nowhere left to go but surrender.
In Meet Me on The Other Side , Tina invites you straight into the mess — the relapses, the jail cells, the broken promises, and the long road of making amends. She doesn’t skip the consequences. She shows you how Jesus walked with her through every one.
Whether you are in active addiction, in recovery, or loving someone who is, this book will help you name the pain, face the truth, and cling to the God who promises another side.
“ Addiction did not begin the day we picked up a drink or a drug. It began the day pain found a place to hide inside us. ”
This book is for you if:
- You feel trapped in addiction and wonder if you’ve gone too far.
- You’re in recovery but still haunted by shame, regret, or the damage done.
- You’re a parent or grandparent losing sleep over someone you love who is using.
- You work in ministry or recovery and need fresh empathy and language for the struggle.
- You want a faith-based story that doesn’t skip the ugly parts.
Every chapter ends with reflection questions and Scripture to help you process your own story with honesty and hope.
Group leaders & churches: Bulk order options and discussion guides are available upon request.
