Shame to Glory Ministries


Shame to Glory Coronation

The mission of Shame to Glory Ministries through Harris Ministries is to express the heart of God by sharing the good news of his unconditional love and mercy.

God desires that the captives be set free. Patricia shares her testimony as an expression of God's faithfulness to love us in spite of our past. Patricia's testimony has been shared through the following venues: her published book, media, conferences, magazine articles, and one on one encounters.

Patricia's style of ministry to women includes a phenomenal wedding ceremony and/or princess coronation, thus leading women into a renewed covenant with their bridegroom, Jesus Christ. It is a powerful, emotional, and life changing experience.

Each woman is adorned in attire, with her own veil, tiara, a bouquet, a symbolic wedding ring, and written vows. She alone with hundreds of brides becomes impregnated with renewed hope,a seed that births into her vision…her very purpose for being. With her past left at the altar, each bride can now look towards her bright future as she fulfills the call God has placed on her life! Jer. 29:11 " I know the plans I have for you…"

Additionally, Eddie is now ministering on shame as it pertains to men.

About the Book


"Imprisoned by the Secrets of the Heart"

Imprisoned... has been written with you in mind. God knows where you've been, but more importantly He knows where you are going. Be set free from your past! Walk out of your shame and into your destiny. This book is sure to change your life. It is a book of encouragement, hope, and God's true unconditional love. He gives beauty for ashes!

Read about one woman's descent into a web of wrong choices which led her into an illicit sexual relationship with her own pastor. For years she buried this shameful secret, tormented by constant reminders and demonic attacks. Patricia turned to the Word of God for her grand escape from imprisonment.

After 12 years of carrying her own sins, and not willing to place them at the foot of the cross, Patricia finally had enough. "Here," she said, "I don't want to carry it anymore," and with a sincere heart, she released her guilt, shame and condemnation to the Lord! Today, Patricia is a free woman!

Though Patricia has escaped to freedom, she carries a burden for those still held captive to thier past. Patricia has returned to the prisons of her familiar past…with a mandate from God "to set the captives free". It is there that she reaches out to other women (prisoners of shame) teaching/mentoring them on how to escape to freedom.

"God has called me to bind up and heal the broken-hearted and to set the captives free. I am on a mission to rescue as many women/girls for Him as I can in this lifetime.

Patricia's Full Bio

Beauty for Ashes

TThe phrase Beauty for Ashes is coined in many popular songs and writings of our day. For Patricia Harris, it is more than an apt quote, it is a reflection of her life experience.

Patricia was born in Kittery, Maine to Air Force Veteran/Pilot Retired 1st Sgt Billy and Evangelist Mary Cunningham. She is the wife of Army Veteran, Eddie Harris, and the mother of three adult children, Denyel, Earl and Amira. They are the proud grandparents of twin girls, Jia and Jaila.

Patricia is a 1992 graduate of U.T. Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and is a professional Rehabilitation Counselor for the State of Texas. Though Patricia counsels clients through the vocational rehabilitation process, she feels that God is using her counseling background to minister "His" rehabilitation to the lives of hurting women.

"From wounded to restored, From shame to glory" is the mantle that she carries under the anointing of God. She knows all too well, the pain of a broken heart, of hidden secrets and of feeling unworthy.

For 12 years, she struggled with guilt, shame and condemnation until she finally allowed God to make a miraculous change in her heart as she released her past to Him. He then placed a mandate on her life, instructing her to write a book detailing her story. Out of obedience to God, she picked up her cross, followed Him and wrote the book Imprisoned.

In August 1999 the book Imprisoned was self-published and put into print. Patricia's call to the ministry was birthed as a result of her healing through the redemptive work of God. Her written story opened doors for television appearances, radio interviews, written media coverage (newspaper) and ministry engagements throughout the nation.

In March 2000, Whitaker House Publishing received a copy of her book and took the reigns to publish it, thus making her message on "restoration" known throughout the world. Patricia possesses a passion for proclaiming God's heart to set the captives free… and loves to share that God gives "beauty for ashes" Isa. 61:3. Her passion is to reiterate to women that God sees them as His Princess. Currently, Patricia is working on her 2nd book.

Patricia and her family are members of Life Fellowship Church in the North Dallas suburb - Allen, Texas where Pastors Randy and Dezra Freeman are the Senior Pastors. They are former members of Covenant Church of Carrollton, TX, having served under the leadership of Pastors Mike and Kathy Hayes, where their ministry was birthed.

"…a book about change and restoration. Patricia shares her story with great honesty and transparency so that others may be set free from the past…"

Kathy Hayes
Senior Pastor
Covenant Church

"…Pat's story reflects God's joy when we allow him to turn the most horrible circumstances of life into the most redemptive, miraculous and victorious celebration…IMPRISONED…is kin to all of us. IMPRISONED…is where we've all traveled. Becoming the Bride of Christ is where we're all headed! Thanks Patricia for showing us the way.

Dr. Wanda Turner
President of Calling First Ladies, Inc.

Many of us have a shameful past that we are not proud of but few of us have the courage and strength to sacrificially help others by writing it in a book. Patricia is a very courageous woman of God who felt that if Jesus could die on the cross for mankind's reconciliation to the Father, then she could bear the cross of writing this book about not only her failures with the enemy but also her great victories over the enemy.
