In this
explosive memoir Tom
Davies shows how, as a youth, he was created by books, films and drama;
how he was merely a mirror of everyone else’s ideas. Then, in
early manhood, he experienced an awakening to God in a series of visions
that were to change his life, It would be another 25 years before he
fully understood them and how pertinent they are today when the media
has become a catalyst in our troubled world. The one real question
is: has God, through this writer, in an age of anxiety, finally broken
his silence?

I found Testament both disturbing and thought-provoking. Berwyn
Mountain Press is to be congratulated on keeping the faith with
one of Wales' most passionate and creative writers.

Rapturous
in places, repulsive in others, but a powerful
autobiography, grappling with faith, sex, the media and
the horrific implications of fictional violence on our disturbed
society. Not to be missed, even if it demands a strong stomach.

This
autobiography has a dynamic forthrightness and range.
The chapters on the Welsh miners' strike were the highlight
as was the story of Evan Roberts which reflects the
general story of Testament itself.

In Testament, Tom Davies takes the reader on a sensuous
and, at times, harrowing pilgrimage. A testimony of hope, deep
loss and a determination not to perish in the Godless
shadows of our days. Be inspired.

Davies Testament is the story of many of us -
sixties survivors who grew up with Henry Miller, Colin Wilson,
Jack Kerouac and Wales. Who expanded their minds. Who
took life by the throat. Davies's big truths
are genuinely worth reading.
