Deanna Favre Handling Scandal with "Faith"

CBS News reported on an interview with Deanna Favre, wife of Minnesota Vikings’ superstar quarterback Brett Favre, on ABC’s Good Morning America last week. Favre was recently interviewed by NFL security personnel for inappropriate behavior with former New York Jets host Jenn Sterger. Mrs. Favre said it was her “faith in God” that was keeping her going through crises in the past, and she knew her faith would get her through this one. Mrs. Favre just co-authored a new faith-based book, The Cure for the Chronic Life, in which she details her struggle with a breast cancer diagnosis and her husband’s use of drugs and alcohol. But despite the recent scandal, Mrs. Favre continues to “handle this through faith,” saying, “You have to not let this struggle define you. You have to define your struggle and use it in a good way.” Her book includes a devotional guide and prayer helps especially for those struggling through a difficult season.
