Trade Review
Out of the Silence is a remarkable book by a remarkable man, a man of great humility and compassion who shares with us his private inner space. The prose gives great insight into the poetry and the result is inspirational. Peace would universally reign if the world were full of people like Terry Waite. * Karl Jenkins CBE, composer *
Throughout a life of incident and commitment, Terry Waite has recorded his feelings in simple and poignant prose and poetry. It is a record of a unique sensibility. * Joan Bakewell, DBE, writer and broadcaster *
I read and re-read Out of the Silence. I still am rereading it! Terry Waite’s thoughts and questions are totally compelling, whether in prose or in verse. * Vanessa Redgrave CBE, actor *
A literary postscript about redemption, and grace. * Church Times *
Searingly simple, yet moving honesty . . . is prevalent on each page. * Life and Work *
