ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Jonathan Sandys is an international public speaker on the life, times and leadership of his great-grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill. Over the past ten years, he has endeavoured to continue his Great-Grandpapa’s legacy and bring Churchill alive for future generations.
While giving speeches throughout the United States and Europe, Jonathan became convinced of the need to recapture Churchill’s ‘never surrender!’ spirit in our day and age – the same spirit his great-grandfather instilled in Britain, Europe and America during the Second World War.
In 2010, while reading about Winston Churchill’s many near-misses and life-or-death experiences, Jonathan began to see a pattern that raised some questions in his mind: How was all this possible? How did Churchill survive? Was there something more than luck or coincidence to the events of Churchill’s life? These questions became the basis of Jonathan’s research with Wallace Henley for God and Churchill: How the Great Leader’s Sense of Divine Destiny Changed His Troubled World and Offers Hope for Ours.
Jonathan has launched a blog – Never Surrender! – that focuses on life lessons from his great-grandfather and draws parallels between the events of yesterday and today.
Jonathan and his wife, Sara, host the ‘Churchill’s Britain’ tours, taking visitors behind the scenes at many locations that were significant in Winston Churchill’s life. They live in Houston, Texas, with their son, Jesse.

Wallace Henley has had a career in journalism, politics, academia and the Church. This career has given him direct engagement with many of the major events of modern times, from the 1960s civil-rights movement to Nixon-era White House upheaval to the contemporary culture wars, a frequent topic of Henley’s columns in the Christian Post. Henley’s passion for learning about Churchill began while working at the White House. Henley is senior associate pastor at Houston’s 67,000-member Second Baptist Church. He has been married to Irene for fifty-three years, and they have two children, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
