“Be you is our mission statement for life, it  keeps us focused on authenticity and truth, and keeps us honest: honest  to God and honest to ourselves,” says the Campbell’s. “God didn’t make a  mistake when He created you, so you should accept who you are and what  you are and live on purpose and not by accident.”

Be U includes  over twenty messages inspired by several popular Mary Mary songs and  complimented by an interactive Q&A for readers, Bible scriptures,  and Be U Affirmation statements. Be U is divided into four sections -Be  Honest, Be Beautiful, Be Intentional and Be You featuring topics that  include:

So Close: “If you are crying out to Him and you don't  sense His presence or see your prayers being answered, why not try and  speak His language? Speak the words of the Bible... His presence is not  contingent upon your behavior, good or bad.”

• Try: “With Him,  I’m able to manage the craziness, and take the challenges in stride. No  matter how hard Tina tries, Tina will fail. But when I put my life in  God’s hands, He looks beyond my faults and gives me another chance.”

•  Stand Still: “If we all made a greater effort to stand still, wait, and  try to hear what God is saying, we could avoid some of the trouble,  hassles, and headaches we experience. Stand still and watch your great  big God move on your behalf.”

• Forgiven Me: “When we hold onto  sin, we convince ourselves that we deserve to live a miserable life and  that God will never bless us again. Stop blaming yourself and hanging  your head in shame and celebrate what God has done for you. Leave your  old, forgiven sin with Him, and move on.”

• What a Friend: “Don’t  think that God can’t be a friend to you because you’re not deserving of  Him. God loves you. He still cares. He is about lifting, restoring,  repairing, renewing and reviving. He’s that kind of friend today,  tomorrow and forever.”

Other Be U themes include God’s  unconditional love, the importance of trusting in God, solitude with  God, helping others, expressing gratitude and the importance of honoring  friendship and family. “I definitely feel privileged to have been  brought up in a Christian family,” says Erica. “Our mum used to say it  is better to be saved from things rather than to be saved out of things.  A lot of what our parents taught us kept us from drugs, alcohol and  being promiscuous - although we weren’t perfect.”

Together, the  sisters share personal insight from many of their songs including the  premature birth of Tina's daughter and the diagnosis and treatment of  Erica's husband’s kidney cancer. The singers have also had to trust God  when it comes to sharing their faith with the public, which often times  can be challenging. Mary Mary is diversifying by venturing into new  areas including bath products and candles called Be-U by Mary Mary.
