More about the founder...

"He [Tom] has personally wrestled the demons of addiction of every kind. He has been swallowed up in temptation. He has fallen prey to an enemy of every description. But Buford has courage. It shows in his writing because it shows in a life that relented to the love of the Father. A life that was totally delivered from the tyranny of its enemies..."

The Pit...

“You’ll never get help until you put yourself in the position to get help!” Those are the words that Sharon Skaggs, wife of country music entertainer Ricky Skaggs told me on the phone. I was at the bottom of the pit I had dug for myself, one scoop of pornography and sexual sin at a time (with a scoop of some other addictive, destructive behavior tossed in occasionally)

It had taken me more than two decades of spiraling toward the bottom of that pit – two decades of mental, spiritual, and physical torture – to learn that the first step in any movement toward help would be to admit to myself that the behavior I had been involved in for all those years was sinful behavior.

Reviews of Riding a Dead Horse: Carousel to Hell

"TOM BUFORD COME FORTH!!

The very words Jesus pronounced over the dead Lazarus might well have been spoken to Tom Buford. Mired and dead in sin, addiction, and bondage to everything the devil brought before him Tom Buford reveals the lowest reaches a man will go in Riding a Dead Horse, his personal testimony and autobiography.

Buford’s writing steers the reader down his personal road to hell, revealing the depravity of a life reeking with the stench of iniquity. Amid the glitz and glitter of chauffeuring music stars to every major city in the United States and Canada, his addiction to pornography, sex and alcohol, in turn, drove Buford to the very bottom of his miserable existence.

Only the unfaltering love of his tenacious wife Mera could bring about the circumstances that lead to the four and a half hour battle for Tom’s spirit man. Only this last-ditched encounter with the delivering power of the Most High could redeem Buford from certain spiritual and probable physical death.

This is truly the testimony of a man being raised from the dead. Dead relationships. Dead morality. Dead spirituality."

"In his book Riding a Dead Horse: Carousel to Hell, Tom Buford writes, "It was a long, hard journey. It was a journey I would not wish on anyone. It was a senseless trip that I pray no one else will ever have to take."

The journey Buford speaks about his journey into pornography addiction and sexual perversion. Sadly, many have taken that same journey.

In 1996, 33 percent of men responding at eight different Promise Keepers conferences agreed with the statement that they "enjoy looking at sexually oriented material" and 16 percent had "purchased pornographic material in the past year." (Source: Ken R. Canfield, president, National Center for Fathering)

With so many men dealing with pornography, Buford's book provides a timely look into a growing problem.

Buford chronicles his years as a pornography addict and journeys into sexual promiscuity. He writes candidly without going into graphic details that would not benefit the reader. In no way does the author try to bring any glory to his sin.

The book gives answers to pornography addicts, pointing them to Christ. While the book deals specifically with pornography, Buford's wise counsel could be applied with many types of addictions.

The author clearly shows that pornography is not a victimless crime. Much of the book deals with Buford's addiction nearly destroying his marriage with his wife Mera.

Our prayer should be that many pornography addicts will read Buford's book and learn where to get the keys to freedom.

The book also would be an excellent read for family and friends of pornography addicts since it gives insight into what drives people into this perverse sin. Spouses especially would gain from reading Riding a Dead Horse.

While the topic of pornography addiction is uncomfortable to speak about, it needs to be addressed. Buford's book does that and does it well."
