Als gezant voor de Kerk van Engeland kwam hij in gevaarlijke situaties terecht die zijn kijk op menselijkheid en veerkracht vormden. Zijn schrijven verkent thema's als hoop, uithoudingsvermogen en de complexiteit van menselijke verbinding onder druk. Lezers waarderen zijn eerlijke reflecties en inzichtelijke portretten van de menselijke geest.






New edition of Terry Waite's seminal memoir, celebrating 25 years since his release - with a new foreword and final chapter
'The Book of Psalms' is one of the best-loved parts of the Bible. From the hope and trust of Psalm 23 to others which express every emotion from devotion to despair, these ancient poems run the gamut of human experience. They ring as true today as when they were first written thousands of years ago.
This autobiography describes the hours before and after Terry Waite was taken hostage in January 1987 in Beirut. Waite analyzes his thoughts and feelings immediately prior to captivity - what was the nature of his role as envoy for the Archbishop of Canterbury? What was his relationship with the Americans and Colonel Oliver North?
The fascinating diaries of a perceptive eyewitness to the historic events of the 1930s and 40s - including the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936, the coronation of George VI in 1937, the rise of Hitler and the war with Germany of 1939-45.
Following in the great tradition of The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Wind in the Willows, Terry Waite's Tales of Tommy Twitchnose introduces a new children's character that both young and old will treasure for years to come.
