Redeeming Memory: How God Transforms Memories from a Heavy Burden to a Blessed Hope

Redeeming Memory is about memory and what the Bible has to say about it. This book examines how God transforms memories from a heavy burden to a blessed hope. Memory plays an important role in the Christian life both in its proper function but also in its corruption. This book is written for Christians who suffer knowingly or unknowingly from the heavy burdens of memory like grumbling, nostalgia, bitterness, regret, shame, as well as future fears of futility and insignificance. God removes these heavy burdens by His mercy at the cross and redeems memory back to its original purpose, to glorify and worship Him.

“Out of the crucible of great personal loss, Matthew Rehrer has given us a great gift. Most of us have experiences that we wish we could forget. This book tells us from Scripture how God intends to use those memories for our good and His glory. I recommend this book to those who want to know what the Bible says about God’s great gift of our memories.” Charles D.
