  ‘The Last Is Now the First’ is the inspiring true story of Donnell Rawls, a young man from Fayetteville, North Carolina, who rose from modest beginnings to make history as a wrestling champion at every level. His journey is one of faith, perseverance, and unshakable determination in the face of personal tragedy and constant doubt. From his earliest days, Donnell was told he was too small to succeed in sports. Wrestling changed that. On the mat, he discovered a place where discipline and heart mattered more than size. Guided by family, mentors, and an unyielding belief in God, he transformed losses into lessons and setbacks into motivation. His achievements include becoming the first state champion at E.E. Smith High School, winning a national title at Winston-Salem State, and making history again as Appalachian State’s first NCAA Division I All-American. Yet his story goes beyond victories. It is about the strength of family, the power of friendship, and the lessons learned from both heartbreak and success. Through hard work, resilience, and faith, Donnell proved that being overlooked does not determine one’s future. ‘The Last Is Now the First’ is more than a sports memoir. It is a powerful reflection of character, courage, and the belief that no matter how you start, you can finish as a champion.

  Over the course of twenty years of delivering sailboats to far-flung quaysides, John Kretschmer has had innumerable adventures, both humorous and terrifying. In Flirting with Mermaids, he recounts the most memorable of them. 
   
   
   
  He crosses the Western Caribbean with a crew of eccentric Swedes researching ancient Mayan mariners, lands in Aden at the outbreak of civil war, and endures a North Atlantic crossing during which he discovers the existence of Force 13 winds. Approaching Japan at the end of a particularly trying delivery, he finds himself sailing in "a high impact debris zone," but his resolve is unshaken. "If a piece of rocketship jetsam fell out of the sky and sank [me] after encounters with Hurricane Floyd, General Noriega, a tsunami, an erupting volcano, and Typhoon Roy, then it was meant to be."

  Mettle - Tragedy Courage and Titles

  THE UNTOLD, INSIDE STORY OF MY LIFE AT RANGERS FC AND IN BUSINESS 
   
  Sir David Murray’s life story is a truly remarkable tale of never-say-die triumph over unimaginable adversity. 
   
  For 50 years he has been a towering figure in Scottish business, sport and philanthropy. His family name is synonymous with steel but his rise to power owes as much to mettle as it does to metal. 
   
  At the age of 24 he was involved in a horrific car crash in which he lost both of his legs. As his life hung in the balance, his days in hospital, drifting in and out of consciousness, were nightmare moments but ones that would define him. 
   
  And in the aftermath, when he finally pulled through, he had stark choices to make. ‘I could fight or I could give up,’ he said. ‘Turn left or turn right.’ David Murray almost always chose wisely and has never once shied away from big decisions. This is a man who thrived on the big stage, as the owner of Rangers Football Club during an unprecedented era of success. He won nine league titles in a row, oversaw some memorable European campaigns, all while rubbing shoulders with the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Graeme Souness and Sir Sean Connery. 
   
  He led the talks on the Old Firm clubs joining the English football pyramid, while his sale of the club to Craig Whyte set off a chain of events that eventually saw the club liquidated. 
   
  Now, for the first time, and in his own words, he is offering a deeply personal insight into his extraordinary life and how he courageously recovered from his accident and then went on to become such a successful entrepreneur. 
   
  He also gives us his thoughts on the Old Firm rivalry, explains why Celtic Park wasn’t the most hostile ground in Scotland for Rangers to visit... and describes how he beat world champion Stephen Hendry at snooker!
