Book Synopsis
An unashamedly nostalgic return to the 1980s with Archbishop Robert Runcie, his Advisor, Terry Waite, and Chaplain, Richard Chartres, as they traverse the globe

Trade Review
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 *
