Restore My Soul
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. Coming July 5, 2022! |
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."
