When Jonathan Aitken was in prison, he experienced a religious
conversion. When he emerged into the light of day, he headed for
Oxford where he read for and obtained a degree in theology.
The Psalms have assumed a quite exceptional importance in his life.
The Psalms are at the very heart of the Christian life and its
liturgy - in them is found the whole range of human emotion, of
triumph and despair.
In this new book, Aitken expounds his own view of the Psalms, the
fruit of much prayer, study and reflection. He has busy, stressed
modern men and women and the forefront of his mind as he writes.
Aitken was a successful businessman and financier before he ever
entered government as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. He is fully
aware of the enormous pressures on people in countless walks of
life - as speed of communication increases and more and more people
are obliged to live with targets hanging over them like the sword
of Damocles.
Aitken writes 'out of the depths': he has experienced as profoundly
as any of us the heights of adulation and the depths of disgrace
and shame and he understands the meaning of repentance. This is an
account of the Psalms tried and tested in raw human emotion.
This book is designed to be kept in the top drawer of a
businessman's desk, the satchel of a student, or the briefcase of a
top flight lady executive.
