I refresh my memory of different grammar structures through reading again a grammar book called “Advanced Grammar in use”.

OTHER WAYS OF EXPRESSIONS:

1) I refreshed my memory of different grammar structures by rereading a grammar book called 'Advanced Grammar in use.

2) I freshened up my memory of different grammar structures use by reading over a grammar book called 'Advanced Grammar in use.

3) By reading again a grammar book called 'Advance Grammar in use, it helps me freshen up my memory of different grammar structures use.

* in the above examples, the word CALLED is needed. You can substitute with the word NAMED as well.

* the word REFRESH or FRESHEN at the beginning of the sentence should be used in past-tense, due to the fact that it has happened before and it is not current because you've tried a method to RE-fresh. RE means it happened before and it is happening again.

hope that helps.

CALL is not needed. Take a look at this example :
This is my wife, Grace.

I would rephrase your sentence as :
In order to refresh my English grammar, I would study again the grammar book, Advanced Grammar In Use.
