Armed & Dangerous: Discovering Who You Are In God So That You Can Defeat The Enemy! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615913735)

Complete with their fair share of MAC makeup, red-bottom stilettos and a favorite suit, most women are all dressed up on the outside, yet emotionally and spiritually broken. Shermaine Reed was no different. Until the day she made a conscious choice to remove her mask. Although she saw a liar, a cheater and a promiscuous woman when she looked in the mirror, she realized that God saw something in her altogether different. Immediately, her definition of herself changed to that of a virtuous woman, one of purpose and prosperity. No longer would she use her rape and molestation experience as stumbling blocks-they became stepping stones for success. As an Author, Biblical Counselor, Missionary and Teacher, Shermaine Reed strives to help women worldwide remove the masks of the shame, the hurt and the guilt of generational curses and broken relationships. She encourages them to be bold and courageous and to dream big. Every test in her life has yielded a powerful testimony, including overcoming depression, low self-esteem and identity crisis. And while she may not be exactly where she wants to be, she is definitely not where she used to be. Daily, she continues to press toward the mark of the Proverbs 31 woman. A faithful member of More Than Conquerors Church in Virginia Beach, Reed serves as a member of the Voices of Victory Praise Team as well as a youth leader. Reed founded Shermaine Reed International Ministries and travels worldwide, including the Toledo District, Belize, to inspire women and children of all ages. As both a singer and songwriter, she collaborated with gospel artist Shanae St. Louis on "Crossing Over." Shermaine Reed holds a Bachelor of Biblical Studies and a Master of Christian Counseling. She is also an active member of the Federal Association of Christian Counselors and Therapists (FACCT) and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Christian Counseling.
