Ten Miles In, Ten Miles Out

Anyone who walks ten miles into the forest better be willing to put in the work to walk the ten miles back home. Zach Mason started looking at porn when he was twelve years old. That is thirteen years of graphic sexual content floating through his memory. Does that mean it will take thirteen years of working on recovery to stop watching? This autobiographical work, broken up by periods of allegorical short stories, focuses on specific details and decisions that can cause a lifetime’s worth of shame. Zach narrows in on his early encounter with pornography and how that affects his relationships, the way he views himself, and most importantly, the way he views God. How is it possible to choose between hating yourself and allowing perfect love to redeem you? What happens when you finally allow that perfect love to redeem you yet terrible choices, addiction, and depression continue to win? Zach opens up his mind and heart to the process of recovery and finds one answer: Jesus.
