In his prison cell in Beirut, where he spent 1,460 days in solitary. Although Terry Waite did not get his pen and paper, he was given a book - an odd English translation which he had read before - but which he read over and over and evidently cherished in such circumstances. But most of these hours were devoted to reflection and introspection. Reading through this daily chronicle we learn about his early life and work.
Taken on Trust can be read as a historical document. Terry's faith went through many crises but despite everything he had suffered he came out trusting in a faithful God. A good read.
