'It was never my dream to become a Springbok rugby player. I wanted to become a designer of Formula 1 racing cars.' In Just a Moment, Schalk Burger Snr, one of the greats of South African rugby, shares the many layers of his colourful and eventful life. Rugby legend and businessman, wine farmer, cultural custodian, musician, father and grandfather, Schalk Burger takes us on an intensely personal and honest journey through the triumphs and hardships that have shaped the life of this much-loved South African. Burger is a storyteller extraordinaire and will have you snorting into your beer as you read about run-ins with officialdom, fisticuffs on the field, how he became the first white Springbok selected from a coloured team, and the day Cheeky Watson asked to wash his feet. This is a glimpse into the life and times of one of the country's most recognised figures, told through the stories of the many lives that have intersected with his. 'Who am I, and how do I live? That is something this story will bring out of me.'

Most of us wake up every day with some anticipation of what that day will bring. For some, those thoughts are of dread, drudgery, and defeat. But what if we awoke to a reflection that left us feeling hopeful for the day? In this second edition of Just a Moment! Daily Reflections for Thinkers, author Ann Zwemer provides us with reflections that offer the perfect start to each day. Each reflection is one short sentence, easily read in a moment, yet thought-provoking and meaningful. These reflections include thoughts about such subjects as age, anger, contentment, failure, God, happiness, justice, loss, love, peace, self-esteem, and time. These daily reflections are not marked by a specific year, so the collection can be used as a perpetual calendar. Each reflection has been written with great care to express what she believes is most important in life. She invites everyone to take just a moment to reflect on something good and meaningful each day. It can make a difference to you and those around you.
