Taken on Trust: An Autobiography
|
| |
| In his prison cell in Beirut, where he spent 1,460 days in solitary confinement, Terry Waite wrote his autobiography in his head. Here he reveals the inner strength that helped him endure the savage treatment he received, his constant struggle to maintain his faith, and his resolve to have no regrets, no false sentimentality, no self-pity.

| Travels With a Primate |
| |
| Waite was adviser to Archbishop of Canterbury on Anglican Communication Affairs from 1980 to 1992. Together they went around the world, visiting such places as Australia, Africa, Scotland, New York, Alaska and China for their ministry. This book is the result of their journeys. Part memoir, part travelog, Waite's account is humorous and witty.... the great friendship, affection, and respect that Waite and the Archbishop have for each other really shines throughout each tale.

| Footfalls in Memory: Reflections From Solitude |
| |
| Here, Waite records passages from the books he remembered from his past and the ones he was given to read during his captivity. This autobiography through reading makes clear not only Waite's own will to survive a torturous period in his life but also the power of the written wordwhether Joyce or the Gospel of Johnto shape life and provide a powerful form of consolation. "Waite's frankness and faith," observed the Kirkus Review, "make this slender book surprisingly moving." (Source: Publishers Weekly) |
