Works
In 2005, Aitken produced "Prayers for People under Pressure" in which he chronicles his move from reserved, self-centred, formal Anglican religious practice to open fellowship and prayer with an unlikely group of ex-MPs, broadcasters and church leaders from various denominational backgrounds. Aitken then reflects on a wide variety of prayers taken from many parts of church history, all of which assist people under pressure.
In 2007, Aitken published a biography of the English sailor and Anglican clergyman John Newton (1725–1807), with the title, John Newton: From Disgrace to Amazing Grace (Crossway Books).
In April 2008, The Observer's diary reported that Aitken was writing a biography of the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, with the president's cooperation. Aitken completed the biography and published it in 2009, under the title Nazarbayev and the Making of Kazakhstan.
