Reviews

[Lin SINGH-BARRINGTON · Rating 4 out of 5]

An impressive read which makes good Quakerley reading for those exploring Friends with a view to membership. Very readable, full of humility and faith, Waite is a goodly writer for the spiritually inclined and anyone searching for God.

Having finished reading Taken On Trust, I considered this volume of his reflections as an important read.

There were some choices that I found difficult to engage in, but it helped me to understand Terry Waite a little better. I am very happy that I acquired & have this volume.

At the end of Footfalls of Memory, Terry Waite lists the four goals for the rest of his life. He is working steadily towards their achievement.

five years imprisonment by Islamic captors...faith, humility, understanding. And the author is a Stephen Spender fan - "tell them I have had a very happy life."
