GRAMMY® award winning
artist, speaker, songwriter, author and worship leader Laura Story has a gift
for penning songs that connect with people all around the world. Among her
successes as a solo artist with her smash hits “Mighty to Save” and “Blessings,”
Laura has also penned hit songs for other renowned artists including Chris
Tomlin’s “Indescribable.” Her solo artist music debut in 2008 with Great God Who Saves led to
four Dove nominations and the award for “Inspirational Album of the Year.” In
2011, Laura released her sophomore project Blessings. The album and the emotionally powerful title was
inspired by her real life trials and adversities, primarily her husband
Martin's diagnosis of a brain tumor. The album resonated with a huge audience
and led to whirlwind career highlights for Laura, peaking at the No. 1 album
spot for three consecutive weeks on Billboard’s Contemporary Christian Overall
chart, topping the iTunes® Christian/Gospel Top Songs chart and holding the No.
1 spot for an impressive 28 consecutive weeks on the Christian charts. The
success of the single “Blessings,” which was certified RIAA Gold, includes the
GRAMMY® Award for Best Contemporary Christian Song, the Billboard Music Award
for Top Christian Song and the Dove Awards for Song of the Year,
Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and
Songwriter of the Year. The song inspired Laura's first book, “What If Your
Blessings Come Through Raindrops?” in 2012. God Of Every Story released in 2013 to much acclaim, and
her first ever Christmas project God With Us, released in October of 2015. Laura recently
released a new book and bible study curriculum When God Doesn’t Fix It; Lessons You Never Wanted to Learn, Truths You
Can’t Live Without. She has a graduate degree from Covenant
Theological Seminary and has served as a worship leader at Perimeter Church in
Atlanta since 2005, but her greatest joy is being a wife to Martin and the
mother to Ben, Griffin and Josie.

Great Praise and Worship music. I thought about what Laura said about giving your all to God with Open Hands! Take it all, take it all till I have open hands. Cause when we hold fist like hands we are not releasing all we have to give to Jesus. Then we shall have open hands. Loved it! I know your music has spoken to me and I saw you have books also.
