Dispelling the Concept of Throwaway Lives
Like no one you have ever heard before Lisa Kratz Thomas brings a message of conquering adversity and unleashing potential. She powerfully communicates the courage to change by sharing her stirring account of survival from drug addiction, prostitution, abortion and incarceration. You will never look at your own life the same way again!
Lisa went from the crack house to the state house, from living on the streets in our nation’s capital, to being appointed to a Senate Sub-Committee that studied prisoner reentry in Virginia. During her tenure on this committee she submitted three pieces of legislation that later became state law. Today she is recognized as a leading authority on prisoner reentry and as the pioneer of an innovative, one of a kind prisoner reentry program in the state of Virginia.
As a former radio talk show host on the Zeus Radio Network, Lisa’s show THIS IS YOUR LIFE: Courage to Change, broadcast live, weekly for two years sharing stories of faith, wellness, recovery and courage.
As a veteran in Twelve Step recovery Lisa has successfully motivated, inspired, and propelled drug addicts and alcoholics to not only believe that second chances are possible, but attainable!
Her mission in life as an author and speaker is to shatter the delusion that some lives are considered throwaways while others are deemed indispensable.

Light In Our Darkness
This is a True Story. Three Lives. One Common Thread.
A formerly incarcerated, homeless, crack-addicted prostitute. A mentally unstable evangelical housewife is living with the effects of sexual abuse and a violent murder. And one of the least-known yet most influential people of the 20th century, a man responsible for 75,000 deaths.
Unexpectedly, their lives are woven together over the span of 40 years. Each is determined to expose and discredit a sinister misconception – the delusion that some lives are considered throwaways while others are considered indispensable. As they peel back the layers of darkness, they discover something far more powerful: light always reveals the truth.
Their individual journeys of devastation, loss, and ultimately, redemption, will challenge and inspire you to see the value of life from a whole new perspective.
