Restory Your Life

Jesus is still writing your story.

Maybe your story feels too messy. Maybe the wounds of your past still haunt you, keeping you stuck in cycles of pain, regret, or doubt. Or maybe you’re just exhausted―longing for purpose and meaning but unsure of how to move forward. But what if the very parts of your story you’d rather forget are the ones God wants to redeem?

Mary DeMuth knows what it is to walk through trauma, loss, hurt, and deep brokenness―and find God in the midst of the struggle. In Restory Your Life, she invites you on an encouraging journey of narrative discipleship, where Jesus meets you in your past, transforms your present, and sets a new course for your future. Through the framework of storytelling, you’ll learn how to:

Recognize the turning points in your story―and see God’s fingerprints in the middle of them.
Break free from past wounds and patterns―and find healing where you never thought possible.
Uncover your God-given identity―so you can stop striving and live loved.
Find your purpose behind the pain―and how your story can bring hope to others.
Step into your restoried life―one marked by joy, resilience, and deep, unshakable peace.

Your past doesn’t get the final say. Restory Your Life will help you embrace the truth: God is not done with you yet.

You’ll emerge from this deep soul work renewed, with fresh biblical wisdom, clearer purpose, and redemptive joy. Take the journey! You’ll never look back. Leslie Leyland Fields, author of Nearing a Far God and Your Story Matters

Restory Your Life will help you discover meaning in the worst moments in your past and find beautiful next steps for following Jesus with your whole heart. Mary DeMuth guides the reader with kindness, generosity, wisdom, and understanding. I felt seen, known, and loved as I read this book. Your story is still being told, and God has big plans for your future. Highly recommended. Matt Mikalatos, author of God with Us and Praying with Saint Nicholas

Neurobiologically, we are shaped by story. But just as the brain can change, so can our understanding of our stories. In Restory Your Life, DeMuth reminds us, “We may be broken by our stories, but God knows how to reframe them.” Through both narrative and structure, DeMuth shares a message that is practical, hopeful, and desperately needed. Jessie Cruickshank, neuroecclesiologist, speaker, and author of Ordinary Discipleship
