Shellie R. Warren knows what it means to be a survivor. Although born and raised as a Christian, Warren experienced sexual abuse, rape and low self-esteem in her childhood, which led her to a vicious cycle of sexual promiscuity in her 20s. Multiple abortions and severe bouts of depression plagued her life until she found freedom, healing and reconciliation in an intimate relationship with G-d unlike any she'd ever experienced. As she turns 30, Warren pens this memoir, giving voice to her pain, discoveries and triumphs. Through narrative and spoken word poetry, she offers personal and biblical insights and hard-hitting assessments that attack this cancerous epidemic deceiving young women and men today.

Kudos to Shellie R. Warren on writing such a powerful message filled book. The author of this book could be anyone of us because in some form or fashion we all have been a victim of poor decision making that led to unhealthy relationships etc.
"Inside of Me" is just another example of not being able to have a testimony without the test. It's a must read for all ages and genders.

This is an awesome book for all to read. The experiences that Shellie shares are as real as it gets. It should be shared with young men and women to let them know that they will have choices to make and their decisions will have an impact on thier lives as well as others around them. I am proud of Shellie for being brave enough to share with us her experiences so that hopefully we can avoid some of the things that she endured. To all thinking about purchasing the book----Just Do It--It is priceless!! God Bless you Shellie and continue to share your awesome gift !!

Format:Paperback
Its not by accident that after about 35 reviews, nearly all have given this book 5 stars. What is there to say that hasn't already been said? I have seen alot of comments that say "this is a must read for women"... just to clarify, this is a book "for everyone- men and women." I am a 24 year old guy and read this book in 2 days. God has certainly blessed Shellie with tremendous writing ability. You will not be dissapointed with this book...
