'A rich collection of humorous tales of prison life... Aitken seems to have found a new vocation as both a funny writer and a serious prison reformer.' Tablet
-
'The story of his spiritual journey of prayer, repentance and commitment to a new life in Christ is told with candour, humour and humility... well written and makes for compelling reading.' Methodist Recorder
-
"His [Aitken's] moving book shows that, like John Profumo, he has found he can do more good outside the limelight than he could in front of it. His humour and detachment show that his fall from arrogance has left him a far better man than the journalists who sought his blood." Contemporary Review, Spring 2007
-
"a very refreshing read, and it is a superb testimony to what God can do in a life surrendered to Him"
Keswick Convention Handbook

MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Aitken's earlier volumes of memoirs, Pride and Perjury, which he completed a few days before entering prison, chronicled his fall from grace. It was more muddled in its intent, veering uneasily between abject penitence and furious self-righteousness. Here in this second volume, his state of mind, and therefore the tone of the book, are both clearer.'
