Esther Wolmarans, die liefde van Andreas se lewe, is ’n deernisvolle, diensvaardige, sagmoedige meisie wat deur omstandighede gedwing word om die rol van versorger en huishoudster te speel. Volgens ou standaarde is sy ’n oujongnooi in wording.

Estie, soos Andreas haar noem, is een van die min mense wat die hart en rede van haar verbitterde vader, Jacob Wolmarans, ken. Sy is die lig in sy lewe. Andreas voel met die eerste aanblik aangetrokke tot haar maar die paartjie moet haar pa se toestemming met moeite verkry om uiteindelik te trou. Sal Estie ná baie trane en groot opofferings haar plek as predikantsvrou kan vind in die gemeente waar die Wolmarans-gesin dikwels die middelpunt van die dorp se skinderstories is?

Andreas worstel ook met ’n ander probleem. Hy sien diskriminasie raak en kritiseer die apartheid wat in die kerk toegepas word, en dit word ook onder die vaandel van die liefde van God in die verhaal uitgebeeld.

In Die grootste hiervan is die liefde ervaar ons God se liefde wat vergestalting vind in Andreas en Estie se huwelik en hul bediening as predikantspaar. Hierdie deernisvolle verhaal fokus op die spesiale liefde tussen man en vrou, tussen Christene onder mekaar en hul naastes.

Dis die biografie wat nie 'n biografie is nie.

Daar is geen geraamtes uit kaste of skandes oor seks, dwelms en/of ruk-en-rol nie; geen verhoudingsintriges nie; vergeet ook van enige sensasionele openbarings. Niks waarin Kwêla of Pasella sou belangstel nie. Skinderstories was daar volop, en skinderbekke het altyd baie te sê gehad oor Franz Marx.

Sê Franz self: “Daar was soveel stories oor my, maar oor wie is daar nie? As dit ʼn gay ou is, het ek stories daaroor gehoor. As dit vrouens is, het ek gehoor ek het hulle bygekom in my kantoor. Dit het my nooit gepla nie, as jy jouself vir ʼn toffie uitgee, gaan die mense aan jou suig. Dít het ek altyd geweet, maar hulle het nooit die waarheid geweet nie. Hulle het nooit geweet ek het twee kinders grootgemaak nie, nooit geweet ek was getroud nie; nie geweet wie is my vriende nie, nie geweet met wie ek sosialiseer nie. Hulle het nooit geweet van my private lewe nie.”

Hierdie “biografie” - uit die perspektief van ʼn onwaarskynlike vertroueling - is ʼn verwerking van gesprekke met Franz (persoonlik en professioneel) deur die bekroonde akteur, skrywer en regisseur Chris Vorster. Dis ʼn vermaaklike ontdekkingsreis met ʼn leeftyd se wyshede en “leuens”.

Tandoori Home Cooking is an approachable, vibrant and flavorful celebration of Indian Tandoori cooking.

Cooking in a tandoor (clay oven) is a technique that dates back to the Bronze Age, and traditionally has always been about bringing the flavor from the clay oven to the vegetables, meats and fresh breads cooked in it.

In Tandoori Home Cooking, Maunika Gowardhan, bestselling author of Thali, takes you on a tour to share an explosion of tandoori flavors, spices, recipes and culinary heritage found across the streets and restaurants of India, with dishes that can be made in conventional ovens and grills in your home all year round.

Even a cupid can be love-struck . . .

For years, Emelle has been a cupid - the ultimate matchmaker to help others fall in love. But this job means that she has no physical body and can't be seen by anyone. Or fall in love, herself. Not ideal for a romantic.

It's OK to be angry about capitalism. It's OK to want something better. Bernie Sanders takes on the 1% and speaks blunt truths about a system that is fuelled by uncontrolled greed, and rigged against ordinary people. Where a handful of oligarchs have never had it so good, with more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes, and the vast majority struggle to survive. Where a decent standard of living for all seems like an impossible dream.

How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super-rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? How can we let it happen any longer? We must demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.

It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision of what would be possible if the political revolution took place. If we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and work to create a society that provides them. This isn't some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it. Is it really too much to ask?

A baby record journal for parents with a sense of humour.

Parenthood is filled with heart-warming milestone moments that you’ll want to hold onto forever. But in the years to come, the memories that make you laugh will more likely be the time your child cut their own hair or when you wrapped their butt in a tea towel on an emergency trip to the supermarket because you forgot to buy nappies (just me?).

The First Time You Smiled offers a cool, inclusive, non-pastel-hued place for you to record the things you don’t want to forget. It’s proof that you were nailing this parenting lark, even when it felt like you were dropping all the balls, telling a story that has both you and your child in the starring roles. Because whatever your story looks like, it starts right here with you – and that is spectacular.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days

What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you.

You just want a way out.

But there’s hope.

In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

What is your stake in the upcoming 2024 election in South Africa – the most crucial election since 1994? Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the outcome? As a businessperson, consumer, worker or farmer, you will be affected by the election results and the significant changes that are likely to appear in South Africa’s political economy. The 2024 election gives South Africans the opportunity to decide what the country and its political leadership will look like in the future.

Tipping Point – Turmoil Or Reform? examines some critical questions about the country’s political and socioeconomic landscape today and whether the 2024 election outcome is likely to signal more gloom or will it rather pave the way for positive and enduring reforms. Edited by prominent economist Raymond Parsons, the book comprises pieces by some of South Africa’s leading intellectuals and thought leaders, all of whom have seriously considered South Africa’s post-election future.

Among the major themes emerging from the different chapters, which will help to steer the national agenda in the months and years ahead, are: South Africa’s political prospects after 2024; the future role of coalition politics in South Africa; the dynamics between business and the economy; what South Africa’s geopolitical leanings mean for the country’s trade competitiveness; how to make local government work; need for greater community engagement and why doing business in South Africa is challenging.

Tipping Point – Turmoil Or Reform? is as absorbing as it is frank, informing readers (and, importantly, voters) about the harsh reality of where South Africa is today but also offering them hope of a much better tomorrow – which will largely depend on the critical choices they make during this watershed election year for South Africa.

Wat is ’n menselewe werd as jy minder as niks op jou naam het nie?

Toe die regering besluit om ’n yslike dam in die diep, dorre Noord-Kaap te bou, is die skrif teen die muur vir die vergete dorpie van Bitterwater. Inwoners het ’n jaar tyd om hul dorp te ontruim en voor die groot water uit te vlug.

Konstabel Cheslin Fielies is die een wat moet seker maak die hele storie gebeur betyds. Pas van die Cape Flats oorgeplaas, word hy gou in die dorpstories ingetrek: Hoekom verafsku die gemeenskap die drankwinkeleienaar Braam Pens so? Wat het Jan Boklam een nag in die dorpsdam sien gebeur? En spook dit regtig by die vervalle ou pastorie waar die Van Helsdingens probeer oorleef?

Terwyl hy van sy eie spoke vlug en die Bitterwaters van die sondvloed probeer red, is dit sy onverwagse vriendskap met die dominee se vrou, Miriam, wat die krake in Cheslin se damwal blootlê. Want water is vergifnis, glo sy. Water is vergeet. Maar sommige geheime sal nie deur die vloed weggespoel word nie.

Minder as water is ’n meesleurende tragikomedie wat jou gaan roer, jou gaan laat lag en uiteindelik die vraag vra: Wat gebeur met die mens wanneer hy voor syeinde te staan kom?

ARE YOU READY TO ENTER THE HALF BURNT HOUSE?

Katie always looked after her beloved younger brother Chris - until she left him alone for one selfish afternoon, and their picture-perfect family fell apart. Although Chris survived the attack, the scars ran deeper than the ones left across his face. Now they're adults, and they haven't spoken in years. Then she gets a call, from Detective Laurence Page.

Page is facing an unusually disturbing crime scene. Alan Hobbes, a distinguished and wealthy philosophy professor, has been brutally murdered. Hobbes was living in a sprawling mansion - but one that remains half-ruined by a decades-old fire, wind and rain howling through the gaping, creaking roof.

Page only has one suspect: Chris, caught on CCTV at the house. But he has plenty of questions. What could cause a man as wealthy as Hobbes not to repair his home? Why did he seem to know his death was coming, yet do nothing to stop it? And why was he obsessed with a legendary local serial killer?

But Katie only has one thing on her mind. She knows this is her last, best chance to finally save her brother, and make up for her negligence all those years ago.

But she can't possibly imagine just how much danger he's in...

The South African Special Forces achieved exceptional results with small groups of elite soldiers instead of larger, conventional teams. The Team Secret shows that the same principle applies in the business world – a small team has a much better chance of completing projects efficiently, on budget and on time.

Teams, rather than individuals, form the DNA of many companies and they play a pivotal role in achieving strategic and financial success. Like Special Forces teams, they must function as a well- oiled machine firing on all cylinders.

Koos Stadler tells in captivating detail about a real-life Special Forces operation and the lessons learnt about team dynamics and achieving the goal. His story, combined with anecdotes from Anton Burger’s experiences as a team leader in different work environments, show the many lessons the business world can take from the Special Forces.

The book identifies the key characteristics of an effective team, how to select the right team members, how to inculcate an ethos centred around team principles and how an effective team should be led. It speaks to both team members and team leaders across all managerial levels – from a team leader in a call centre to a project manager or CEO.

In short: To fast-track your business, shape up your teams!

Every decision we make is a decision about the future. We constantly make choices that affect the next week, year or decade, but get blinded by what we want or expect the future to be. Cognitive traps lie everywhere: failing to question our assumptions; believing in greater certainty and personal control than life allows; or missing signals because we’re distracted by the noise.

The post-2020 world demands a revolutionary way of looking ahead, and in these unpredictable times, the key to good futures thinking is good thinking. The goal of constructive futurism is not to forecast specific events, but to plot a series of scenarios that show what could happen. Consequently, we can work towards the future we want, avoid the ones we don’t, and be prepared to manage the risks and opportunities no matter what.

In Thinking the Future, scenario specialists Clem Sunter and Mitch Ilbury teach us the futurist’s art of decision-making, where the flexibility of thinking like a fox plays a key role in adapting to a complex and interconnected world. The book rejects the appealing but misleading self-help narrative that you can decide your future through sheer determination in pursuit of your goals and replaces it with a more dynamic approach.

Isaac Newton said: ‘If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.’ By reimagining seminal concepts thought up by some of history’s greatest thinkers, the authors detail the dos and don’ts for thinking the future and handling its uncertainty in a constructive way.
