Pride and Perjury, Prison and Priest | Jonathan Aitken

Jonathan Aitken’s fall from grace was spectacular. Touted as a possible future Prime Minister, his lies under oath in a court of law landed him in prison. But in the carnage of the high-profile front-page life implosion, friends came alongside him and introduced him to the ‘One who sticks closer than a brother’. Now an active prison chaplain in his ninth decade, Jonathan’s still got plenty of life to live! What an encouragement!
