Meet my new book!Releases July 5, 2022
Laura's newest book, Restore My Soul dives into the Psalms and uses modern day stories to illustrate how relevant they are today. Restore My Soul reminds readers that God loves, protects, and provides for us in all our emotions—the beautiful, wonderful moments and the gut-wrenching, terrifying moments. He never leaves us. The psalmists knew this, and they took everything to God—yes, their praise and rejoicing, but also their anger and sorrow. God is faithful in everything we face and feel. This truth can truly restore our souls. |

Here's What People Are Saying:
![]() The thing about the psalms is this: they are so human and they meet us where we're at while also grabbing our eyes and putting them on heaven. This book by Laura L. Smith WILL restore your soul, because it's God's promises meeting human emotions. You can be exactly where you're at and get all of God, this is the good news for women like us. - Jess Connolly, author, speaker, coach, and podcast host |
![]() In addition to shaping, supporting, and providing wings for our faith, the Psalms help us align our thinking and emotions to the mind and heart of God. In these 150 Spirit-inspired prayers, we have been given a treasure chest of what it looks like not only to love God with our minds (sound theology), but also to love him with heart, soul, and strength (robust and awakened living). Using thirty of the Psalms' "greatest hits" as her guide, Laura helps us use the Psalms as our top-shelf resource for loving God and becoming more fully human. I highly recommend this work to you. - Scott Sauls, senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church and author of several books including Jesus Outside the Lines and Beautiful People Don't Just Happen. |
![]() Laura L. Smith dives into the richness of the Psalms in a fresh way by sharing honest stories, joys, and struggles, as if you were chatting over a cup of coffee, all the while leading you closer to the love and grace God has waiting for you. - Elisa Morgan, Speaker, Author, When We Pray Like Jesus, Co-Host, Discover the Word, discovertheword.org and God Hears Her, godhearsher.org, President Emerita, MOPS International |
![]() "In Restore My Soul, Laura L. Smith lays out the most beautiful of invitations: as she shares her own stories of learning to weave the Psalms into her own prayer life, we too are welcomed to bring our confused, weary, hurting selves to God. Whether you're taking your very first steps in exploring life with God or have walked with Him for years, you will find day-by-day direction and encouragement with Laura L. Smith as your friendly and gentle guide through some of Scripture's most beloved Psalms." -Bronwyn Leabronlea.com, author of Beyond Awkward Side Hugs, editorial curator at Propel Women |

I’ve been searching my whole life for beauty. Not in the world—there’s plenty of that — in the crimson of a cardinal’s feather, in the sound of waves crashing along a shore, in the melody of a Beatles’ ballad, or in a Chagall stained glass window. The world is filled with beauty, but me, well that was another story. It took me years to discover my true beauty, to fully grasp I am made in the image of my Creator, and therefore, I am beautiful. The incredible thing is…so are you. You were marvelously made by God to inspire awe. No matter what the world tries to tell you, no matter what you try to tell yourself. No one can rob you of the incredible true identity God instilled in you. I tell stories (through books, blogs, and speaking) in hopes of helping you discover what took me so long to see: your beautiful true reflection in Christ.
