It's Not Only a Tattoo!!

By Pastor Sherada Allen

While there are some who are aware of the potential dangers tattoos can pose to your physical health and that permanent disfiguration can occur due to a botched application, there are many who are not aware of the spiritual dangers they engender and the possible eternal ramifications attached to them.

This book has been written to make us aware and open our eyes to some forgotten and neglected truths regarding tattoos and warn of their other dangers.

Pastor Sherada Allen

She was saved in 1975 under the leadership of the late pastor John P. Shaw. She received a solid foundation in right living and the standards of the Apostolic Doctrine as spelled out in God’s Word. Pastor Allen was called to preach that Word in 1985. God sent her Acts 26:15–18, “I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister, to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins.” She was called to pastor in 1997 in Norwich, Connecticut, where she pastors The Apostolic Church of the Good Shepherd, Inc. She is the wife of Deacon James T. Allen. They are the proud parents of five children, grandparents of five, and one great-grandchild.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I am so grateful to Minister Cheryl Dansby, who after my first book came out, rejoiced with me and then stated, You should write a book about Tattoos, because I had taught many seminars a few years ago regarding tattoos which were well received. She gave me the nudge I needed to create this book on this subject the Lord had inspired me to teach on. Thank you Minister Dansby! I also owe thanks to Evang. Cindy Austin for her support, assistance and encouragement, to Suff. Bishop Fredrick J. Jackson, thank you for helping me promote and sell my first book, along with the Conn. District Council of the P.A.W. for your blessings and support! But if it had not been for the Lord Jesus, my Rock in a weary land, my Sustainer and my Hope, this would not have been possible; I owe Him all the praise!!
