Everyone has an untold secret or a chapter in their life that they wish could be erased. We often keep these dark memories hidden because they are too painful to be dealt with. In Broken to Beautiful, Marcia gives her personal account of life before and after she suffered molestation by different abusers. The book highlights some of the side effects of sexual abuse that are common to many victims. Marcia also shares the details of each dream, song, book, and revelation that the Lord used to set her free. Because she has received such liberty through the healing power of Jesus Christ, she wants others to also be whole. The final section of the book presents simple guidelines for the reader to follow on their pathway to restoration.

All my life all I knew was brokenness, shame, and guilt. I didn't know what true love was. I didn't know I was worthy or loved because I sure didn't feel it or see it in my life. At age thirteen I wanted to cover up the pain I had inside. My addictions to many things became the Band-Aid that kept falling off to the deep wounds of my heart that only Jesus could heal. I didn't know. Not only did I not know, but I wanted the pain to instantly go away, so my addiction took control of my life. God never left me. He pursued me, and I was too blind to see. It wasn't until I had enough of the life I was living and wanted to take my own life that I cried out to God. The Lord reached out His hand in the pit of my despair and lifted me up. I have been walking with Him since that day. I fell in love with Jesus because He loved me first, He says we were worth dying for. He did not allow the devil to take me out before I knew what true love is. I went from hopeless to putting my hope in Jesus. Who am I now? I am loved. I am chosen. I am redeemed. I am free!

The Japanese have an ancient tradition called kintsugi. Instead of discarding a beautiful bowl that has been broken, they use gold to repair it, creating a vessel that is unique and even more valuable than before. Kintsugi illustrates the truth that nothing is ever truly broken beyond repair. Rather than hiding the brokenness, the gold creates something new and cherished. Broken and Beautiful tells a tale of clergy sexual abuse and the aftermath of pain and suffering it creates, but the story doesn’t end there. The powerful, healing touch of God’s hand brings beauty from emotional desolation, and joy from the depths of sorrow. Kristal Chalmers has experienced this first-hand, and she and her mother, Eileen Peters, are sharing this story for the first time in the hopes that it will bring healing to others who are walking this journey alone. Broken and Beautiful provides a riveting, passionate, and inspiring account of the wonder and majesty of God’s unfailing grace.
