Satan has been using sexual temptation to derail, consume and
destroy the lives and testimony of God's people since the
beginning of time. Today the delivery system by which sexual
temptation is delivered may differ from years past but its end
result remains the same. The church has made many mistakes in
addressing this plague. We have often "shot" our sexually
wounded, ignored, dismissed and in some cases moved God's standard so as to not offend
them. Most of these failed attempts have been rooted in fear and
misunderstanding. In The Blessing of the Thorn (Second
Edition), we will begin to take away some of the mystery of
sexual sin, develop a clearer understanding of how it takes root
and present practical biblically based tools to assault it. Let us
become the church who is not afraid to step into the fight with
Truth and Grace and take back the ground the enemy has taken.

Jonathan D. Jones is the Founder and President of Perfect Hope Ministries. Perfect Hope is a Christian Ministry founded upon Jonathan's experience helping sexual addicts find their personal relationship with God and break free of sexual bondage.
During his over 40 years of counseling experience in Mental Health and Addiction Treatment, Jonathan practiced addiction prevention, intervention and recovery as well as led Addiction Treatment Programs within Inpatient, Outpatient, Residential and Correctional settings. Drawing from his extensive counseling experience he has developed workbooks, workshops, trained others, and authored numerous books. In addition he has sponsored, taught and led Conferences and Training Institutes.
Jonathan's experience treating those with sexual addiction, coupled with his deep Christian faith, led him to pioneer unique techniques which address the heart of sexual sin. In 1999, Jonathan was called to address the issue of sexual sin within the church on a full-time basis. Since that time he has witnessed hundreds of men walk in extended freedom from sexual sin and in deeper intimacy with God and others. Jonathan's calling has provided churches with biblically-based tools to address the issue of sexual sin, improve Christians' intimacy with God, and heal Christian men entrapped in sexual addiction.
