The Re-Storied Life

About this book

Does something feel off? Even in a world filled with achievement and endless striving many people carry a quiet ache beneath the surface--the sense that life was meant to be more than exhaustion, fear, performance, or survival. In The Re-Storied Life, pastors and longtime friends Rick Barger and Lorne Hlad invite readers into a deeper, more hopeful way of living rooted in the story of God. Drawing on years of ministry, personal loss, global partnership in Haiti, and the depth of the Christian tradition, they explore how people's lives become shaped by false scripts--and how grace can awaken them to a new story marked by hope, identity, healing, and flourishing. This is not a book of easy answers or simple formulas. It is an invitation to discover that even in an aching world, each person's story is still being written.
