Johanna Francis (née Dooyeweerd) was born in Amsterdam in 1936 to an extremely well-to-do family. She watched the German tanks roll in as the Nazis took Holland and the family was active in the resistance, sheltering a Jewish family and running an underground newspaper which Johanna hid in her underwear – even though the Gestapo headquarters were just across the street. Thee Gestapo interrogated her father four times. Coming to the UK in her late teens after the war, she met a penniless Welsh farmer and within two days, they decided to get married. They had a huge society wedding in Amsterdam, but her new husband Bob was so poor that on their first night together on the Welsh farm, in a freezing tumbledown house, she cut up her wedding dress to make curtains. Despite their financial difficulties, they only grew closer and more inseparable as the decades passed, and the story of their life together is a beautiful love story. Johanna died in 2021, after a singularly devoted and extraordinary relationship.

This is the life-affirming autobiography of Karl Phillips, aka The Bootlegger, who has become a social-media sensation across the UK with his matchday vlogs following Wrexham AFC and his humorous observations of working-class life. He reveals his difficult upbringing, his underachieving school days, his life drifting from one job to another, his work as a roofer, and his meteoric rise as an influential vlogger and cult figure, now with over 320,000 followers. Following the takeover of Wrexham AFC by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and a documentary spin-off planned for Netflix, the eyes of the world will be on the club, and on the Bootlegger, their most famous fan.

Enoch’s Walk is the latest and most personal endeavor of 95-year-old Christian psychiatrist David Enoch. Affectionately known as ‘Enoch the Uncommon’, he is well known for his medical book Uncommon Psychiatric Syndromes. In this fascinating autobiography, David recounts his humble beginnings in rural Wales and traces his unexpected journey to India, where he was stationed during the Second World War. A crucial decision upon his return changed the course of his future, and he subsequently enjoyed a distinguished career in psychiatry. Having been on the forefront of societal, religious, and medical changes, there is not much David has not witnessed, making this account a valuable first-hand contribution to twentieth-century history as well as a candid story of one man’s journey through life. Along the route, David shares openly of the highs and lows in both his private life and his career, from love and success to disappointments and loss. A truly inspirational story of a life lived to the glory of God.
