Book Takeaway:

Repentance comes with godly sorrow and awareness of sin, not the desire to impress another person.

Why the author wrote this book:

As a childhood fan of the original Beauty and the Beast story, I wanted to see what a story of radial transformation would look like if it took place in the real world where a man's beastly nature is due to his sin and not a curse. Ingrid's Engagement explores how a Christian woman deals with her unexpected fiance's brokenness and how he's finally transformed from a "beast" into a "man."
