Sanctified and Shattered
Sanai Brooks has everything a church woman is supposed to want: the title of First Lady, the respect of her congregation, and the polished image of a sanctified life. But beneath the Sunday hats, pressed suits, and plastered smiles, Sanai is suffocating in silence. Her marriage is unraveling behind closed doors, her prophetic dreams are dismissed as "nonsense," and her soul is weighed down by secrets she vowed never to tell.
When haunting visions of a chained little girl begin to disrupt her nights, Sanai can no longer ignore the truth. The girl isn't just a dream-she's a reflection of Sanai's own brokenness, the younger self she abandoned in order to wear the mask of perfection. Each dream cracks the fa ade she's built, forcing her to confront the shame of her past, the silence in her marriage, and the crushing expectations of ministry life.
Her husband, Pastor Elias Brooks, thrives in the pulpit but has grown cold and distant at home. When whispers of witchcraft and rebellion spread through the congregation, Sanai finds herself caught between protecting her image and pursuing her healing. A single church vote becomes the stage for betrayal, and the sanctuary itself turns into a battlefield of truth and deception.
Guided by her grandmother, Mother Geneva-a fierce prayer warrior who believes deliverance begins in the closet, not the pulpit-Sanai embarks on a journey of spiritual warfare, soul-tie breaking, and prophetic awakening. Through ribbons cut, oil poured, and dreams shattered, she discovers that God does not sanctify us in spite of our cracks-He sanctifies us through them.
Sanctified and Shattered is a raw and redemptive Christian drama for anyone who has ever felt trapped by silence, crushed by shame, or unseen behind the mask of sanctification. Blending the grit of real life with the power of the prophetic, Sharon Cannon delivers a story that will resonate with women in the pews, leaders in the pulpits, and every believer who has ever wondered if God could use what was broken.
If you have ever smiled in public while silently breaking in private, this story will remind you: God still sees you. And He can use even the shattered pieces of your life to build something holy.
