"Beautifully Redeemed" is a journey through the many stages of love; from the infancy of infatuation and butterflies to the ugliness of contempt, jealousy, pride, and selfishness; and finally, restoration through prayer, forgiveness, humility, and selflessness to display the perfect power of unconditional love. Although they had known one another for years, Brian and Shänka were engaged and married in eight weeks. Being married to the person of her dreams, having the exact career that she desired, and the envy of many, she had it made. Living the life that she was sure God intended for her, she and Brian were the "it" couple. There was nothing in their way to stop them except for the proper assessment of the generational curses that plagued their views on men and women, and the roles they carry within the home. But Brian and Shänka thought that they were much smarter and wiser than they actually were at that time. Things took a fast turn following their premature union where lust, pride, rejection and infidelity began to destroy them to a point of slow return. Would Shänka be able to forgive completely? Would Brian ever be able to live beyond the guilt and shame of his infidelity? This book plus devotional is Brian and Shänka Pettis' story of redemption. The devotional included is a workbook that takes the reader on a personal journey of reflection and forgiveness. It is Shänka's belief, from her personal experience, that anyone can experience restoration in a relationship with the right ingredients. Her hope is that you are able to find your story within hers, and you too, can be beautifully redeemed.
