À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In this sequel to his first volume of autobiography ( Pride and Perjury ) Aitken starts his story as he is taken down from the courtroom and incarcerated at Her Majesty's Pleasure.....He writes frankly of subsequent events. Visited by the ever-optimistic Lord Longford, Aitken emerged from the jaws of despair a chastened man.....How this Old Etonian former Cabinet Minister on Mrs Thatcher's inner circle managed to establish new relationships and lasting friendships with fellow prisoners is fascinating - so too is this account of how religious belief transformed his life and began to influence the life of others.....Emerging from Bellmarsh Prison, with nothing but a black plastic sack of clothes, Aitken recounts how he was accepted at Wycliffe Hall Oxford to read theology and how this reconditioned his mind as well as his soul.....Aitken has lost none of his charm, fluency and determination. But now these are used for greater purposes. He has found a new life and meaning to it. The authenticity of this new life is something which drives him on, and which readers of this entertaining new book will be able to judge for themselves.

Reviews
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.', '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.'" -- Blurb from reviewer, '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
