Restored: Partnering With God in Transforming Our Broken Places

Every person carries areas within their heart that feel worn down—quiet corners of the soul where dust tends to settle and where emptiness sometimes echoes. We all have parts of our lives in need of renewal, and photographer/portrait artist Meshali Mitchell understands that deeply. Alongside her emotional rebuilding, she also found herself restoring an old farmhouse that had seen better days.

In this beautifully designed, full-color volume, Meshali recounts how God unexpectedly led her away from life behind the lens and onto a path of personal healing—one that unfolded at the same pace as her home renovation. As she invited God into each “room” of her inner life, she discovered powerful lessons about endurance, grace, and learning to forgive herself. These lessons mirrored the physical restoration happening around her.

With poetic writing grounded in Scripture and practical guidance you can apply immediately, Meshali encourages you to open your heart to renewal, allowing God to strengthen, rebuild, and breathe new life into the places that need it most.
