After the success of his previous three albums, Matthew West asked the Lord to share with him a new vision for his music. Out of that humble request, one of the most innovative and ground-breaking conceptual albums in the history of Christian music was birthed.

Matthew invited his faithful listeners to share their life stories as inspiration for his new project. When over 10,000 accounts of abuse, divorce, abandonment, cancer, bullying and numerous other heart-breaking issues were submitted, Matthew rented a remote wilderness cabin and spent two months reading, praying and writing. The result of his unique endeavor is The Story of Your Life, an album inspired by real-life events and devoted to spreading the message of hope and redemption in Jesus Christ.
