This is Terry as he really is - wise and funny. A good book from a big man. If only he could be the Primate. -- John Sergeant
A travelogue that is refreshingly irreverent and deeply human -- James Naughtie
What makes this book so enjoyable is that the great friendship, affection, and respect that Waite and the Archbishop have for each other really shines throughout each tale * Library Journal *
Solitude (SPCK, 2017): Terry Waite takes the reader deep into other worlds, both geographical and psychological, from which they will emerge enlightened and spiritually enriched. -- Ranulph Fiennes OBE, explorer, writer and poet
Terry Waite's saunter through solitude is wide ranging, original, well written and (best of all) companionable. -- Martin Bell OBE, UNICEF ambassador and former war reporter
A record of a unique sensibility. -- Joan Bakewell, DBE, writer and broadcaster
Out of the Silence (SPCK, 2016): A remarkable book by a remarkable man . . . Peace would universally reign if the world were full of people like Terry Waite. -- Karl Jenkins CBE, composer
Taken on Trust (Hodder, 1993, 2016): No regrets. No sentimentality. No self-pity. Many times in the years ahead Waite found it almost impossible to keep those resolutions. But he did, as anyone who reads this book must attest, in quite magnificent fashion. -- Sandy Gall * Sunday Express *
. . . his memoirs create a new mystery: where did he learn to write so well? -- Richard Heller * Mail on Sunday *
A remarkable story of physical humiliation, survival and release. -- Anthony Clare * Sunday Times *
