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.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.”
—Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.
