The Great Spiritual Migration

Many see Christianity as focused on a God who favours some and rejects others. This idea is ripe for conversion: from system of belief to way of life, from exclusive God to the loving reconciling Spirit embodied in Jesus, from an institution to a movement that helps make a better world. It's a call to shift the direction of Christianity to be more in sync with its founder.

Terry Waite

During the Lebanese civil war over 100 people were taken hostage by Islamic Jihad. As the Archbishop's special envoy, Terry conducted missions negotiating the release of hostages. But in 1987 he was captured, imprisoned for 5yrs in solitary confinement, and subject to cruelty. These three books look at those years and their aftermath from social/ political/testimonial, poetic/reflective, and spiritual perspectives, respectively.

Solitude Some welcome it, others long to escape; solitude is something we all experience at different points.

After years of solitary confinement, Terry wanted to find out more about the power of solitude. This is a book of encounters with people who have experienced it in different ways: remote landscapes; loneliness; city life; espionage; prisons; approaching death. Terry offers unique, personal insight into how solitude shapes us and how it can be worked into a force for good.
