5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read. May 13 2012
By MonkeynSprout
Format:Paperback
This was an excellent read. I just finished it last night and I find myself still reflecting on the characters and especially on what happened at the end. The way the author detailed the various characters and the terrific descriptions he used helped me to step into each of their shoes and into the college town - I feel as though they were my friends - which makes the ending all that more impactful. This is a powerful topic to write about. The author showed the inner workings of Brad in his day to day college life - with a young gay Mormon roomate - which in itself was interesting - I don't want to spoil the plot, but suffice is to say that the author then lead me on a journey of intrigue, denial, lust, love, deception, forgiveness and peace. The book has helped me to understand in a way that I didn't before the pains and joys of someone who has the courage to realize that they are gay while living in a time/place/religion that reflects a very dark mirror. I loved how the author dropped little clues along the way - suggestions - about what could be coming - sewing seeds of doubt or enlightenment - it definitely kept me hooked. I really appreciate that too because I love it when I can be educated about a difficult topic while also being entertained at the same time. I'd highly recommend this book - there were a few minor spelling mistakes but I imagine that's because it's the first edition - they didn't take away from the story. By the way the title couldn't be more perfect!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rare Entity May 6 2012
By Vickie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Jerod Killick's Without A Testimony is a rare entity, in that it touches the heart with the intense emotion brought on by rejection and the aftermath of it. Mr. Killick gives us the story of Brad and Jordan, two young men who meet as college roommates. The setting, conservative Idaho. It soon becomes evident to Brad that Jordan, a devout Mormon, is battling guilt and self hate, his conflicts not entirely spiritual in nature. Brad takes on Jordan as his project, but he has no idea the depth of Jordan's struggle.

Struggling sexual identity might be at the forefront of Mr. Killick's story, but he tugs at the heartstrings by asking a simple question. If a child never feels visible, can they truly develop into adults capable of companionship and love? Brad and Jordan's story led me through a remarkable tale of what happens when cold hearts, small minds, and fear come together to make a perfectly wonderful human being hate himself. It truly broke my heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent "outsider" Viewpoint April 5 2012
By Gerald S. Argetsinger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Killick's "Without A Testimony" is an important contribution to Gay Mormon Literature because of its incisive "outsider" viewpoint. Killick spent many years at an Idaho University and knows from first hand experience the dilemma of being gay and Mormon. I was particularly impressed with his parallel charcters withholding their being gay for completely different reasons, both ultimately destructive. Ultimately it is an enjoyable read, unique because of the perspective of the author's personal experience.
