~ SUMMARY ~ SAYING NO TO NAKED WOMEN
The Riveting Story of a Young Man's Struggle to Free Himself from Porn Values and Sexual Addiction
Jack Derritt doesn't realize he's running away from his troubles when he builds a shack in the Ozark mountain backwoods. But even in the forest, he can't escape the unpleasant truth: he feels like a kid, not a man, he hasn't found his ideal woman, and when he tries to daydream about her, his head fills with pornographic images he despises. When a magical mentor appears at his shack, Jack begins to explore the causes of his problems. With his mentor's help, he solves the riddle that has kept him from truly understanding people of all kinds - and finds the love of his life and the healthy relationship he's always wanted. You will discover how Jack:
Conquers crippling guilt Forgives his parents - and opens the hidden door to love Turns despair into hope and confidence Changes himself from a "kid" into a man
A heartfelt and richly rewarding story that will leave you breathless with its insights into personal growth and happiness.
