Yet all of this disappeared after a sudden car accident. He was propelled into a life of uncertainty, his spinal chord almost severed.

Faced with a future of operations and wheelchairs, things looked bleak. But why? Why had this happened? Was it for a reason?

This tells of Haydn's remarkable testimony. Told with humour, grit and honesty, this story will challenge us all, as we read how God uses painful experiences for good.

'I couldn't put this book down! Haydn is my kind of bloke through and through: a Welsh boy, mad on football, wanting to live life to the maximum and yet willing to take crazy risks as 'one of the boys'.' - Graham Daniels, General Director, Christians In Sport.

'I'm so thankful that I got to read about your story. I was so touched that I didn't want to put it down or for it to end. To be honest I've never read and finished a book that I've really loved and enjoyed...It has touched me in so many ways that I've decided to share your story with some of the boys in our team and now they are fighting about who's reading it next...it has touched me, encouraged me and it's given me hope.' - Neemia Tialata, prop forward, New Zealand All Blacks.

Haydn Davies grew up in a small mining community in South Wales. He played football at a semi-professional level and for the Wales Under 21 squad until he was seriously injured in a car accident. He now has a powerful speaking ministry.
