Restored

Partnering with God in Transforming Our Broken Places

By: Meshali Mitchell, Lisa Harper - foreword

Narrated by: Meshali Mitchell

Every one of us has broken places inside. Places in our souls where the dust gathers or the wind whistles through. Every one of us needs restoration. Photographer and portrait artist Meshali Mitchell is no different. Though, in her case, she also had a farmhouse to restore to its former glory.

In this book Meshali shares the inspiring story of how the Lord drew her out from behind the camera to embark on an unlikely home renovation in the midst of her own difficult journey to healing. As she handed God the keys to every room in her heart, Meshali learned lessons of patience, perseverance, and self-forgiveness that paralleled the physical restoration of the building around her. With lyrical prose steeped in Scripture and practical tools, she shows you how to apply those same discoveries to your own life as you ask God to heal, restore, and empower you to live abundantly.

Anointed for healing

I’ve never written a review on a book before but I couldn’t help it this time; I think I cried through the whole thing. It is such a simple and easy yet very effective listen. From the author’s very comforting voice, to the easy to understand and relatable analogies used throughout the story, not to mention the applicable action steps included in each chapter. I will definitely be listening to this again, as this book is so enriching and I’ve never read anything like it.

Listen, Fellow Men: Restoration Isn’t Weakness—It’s Strength

Restored is a book that speaks to both men and women. As a man, I found a depth here that’s often missing in conversations around healing and restoration. Meshali shares her story with a kind of strength and sincerity that invites you in and then gently challenges you to take a hard, honest look at your own life.

Her journey of restoring an old farmhouse is more than a creative project, it’s a powerful metaphor for what God wants to do in each of us: take the broken, neglected places we tend to hide and rebuild them with purpose and grace. For men who are used to pushing through pain or carrying it quietly, this book offers something different: permission to process, space to be honest, and a clear call back to wholeness in Christ.

This isn’t a book of shallow advice or spiritual clichés. It’s real, grounded in Scripture, and filled with hard-won wisdom. Meshali doesn’t gloss over suffering—she faces it, grieves it, and then shows how God meets us in it with unfailing kindness.

If you’re a man navigating brokenness, loss, transition, or just trying to live with more integrity and clarity, Restored will resonate. It’s an important reminder that restoration isn’t weakness but the work of a God who rebuilds with care. I’m grateful for this book.

Thank you, Meshali, for your obedience and your voice. This book is a gift to the whole Church and one men especially need in this season in our culture.
