Psalms for People Under Pressure sold extremely well and was serialised in The Guardian.
- Here is a book comparable to Continuum's best selling title Favourite Prayers (by Lady Cassidi).
- Aitken always promotes his books energetically and vigorously

Here are a hundred selected prayers, each accompanied by a spiritual reflection with personal comments. The book opens with a 9,000 word autobiographical introduction, Journey Into Prayer, which explains how the author has collected, and in some cases written, the prayers in this book during his many experiences of life under pressure.

In his colourful career, Jonathan Aitken has been a war correspondent in Vietnam, a television presenter, the chief executive of TV-am, the chairman of a merchant bank, an MP, a Cabinet Minister, a prisoner in HMP Belmarsh and a student of theology at Wycliffe Hall Oxford. So he writes from heartfelt experience for those who are under pressure and want to build a relationship with God through prayer.
