salvation story

Tale of deliverance

A salvation story is a narrative of rescue or redemption—typically someone's account of being saved from sin, addiction, destruction, or despair.

The term appears most often in religious contexts, where believers share how they came to faith: She told her salvation story at the revival.

More broadly, it describes any dramatic turnaround narrative: His salvation story involves hitting rock bottom before finding sobriety.
