Former Tory cabinet minister, Jonathan Aitken, made a stand for Christ while in prison, and continues to be a controversial figure.

EN: Jonathan, Colson also said in one of his letters to you that he is sure that God is preparing you for some ministry. Every believer is a minister, but, do you have ideas about that - what you'd like to do?

JA: I presume nothing, because of one of my favourite lines I heard in a sermon some months ago. It was as follows: the sermon began, question - what makes God laugh?, answer - people who have plans. Having been a great schemer and planner for as long as I can remember - and look where it got me - I am now very content to submit humbly and peacefully to God's will and it will become known to me.
