Lust can change your very thoughts and cause you to do things you probably never dreamed of. The Lisa Jones Story … will emphasize all the wrong ways to deal with lustful desires, and how you in your own power can fail to make things right without getting to the root of your own demise. There are plenty of books that tell the story of lustful situations. You know romance novels; true biographies of one’s life; even books of the scientific study of why people do what they do. But once you read “The Lisa Jones Story: A Thin Line Between Love and Lust”, you will not be able to put it down. This book shows the real thoughts of a person, and readers will feel the reality, it just has a different twist to it! It’s my prayer that his book will help people to keep from falling into the trap of holding on to the wrong done to them in the past, becoming destroyed by it the way Lisa Jones has in this jaw dropping, heart moving, and tear jerking inspiring novel. The strong hold that lust has on Lisa’s life begins when her cousin Mark invites her over to play checkers with him, but forces her into sex instead. Afterward, Lisa’s heart is deceived into thinking that she is in love with him, but she doesn’t realize that while having sexual intercourse with Mark, the spirit of lust in him had transferred itself into her, confusing her heart. At seventeen Lisa chooses her first boyfriend, Curtis Smith, through the eyes of lust. He turns her out to drugs, alcohol, and prostitution. Lisa is tricked out by Curtis to drug dealers in exchange for drugs that he and Lisa are using to get high. Not only does Lisa become addicted to drugs, sex, and alcohol, but she has also become a victim of domestic violence. This book will make you cry, piss you off, inspire you, and hopefully make you aware of the spirit of lust that has destroyed so many lives. I pray that this book helps capture the lives of those that are affected because of decisions made when lust takes control! There is “A Thin Line Between Love and Lust!”
