When over 33,000 publishing professionals and book lovers walk through the same doors, you know the books on display matter. Studio of Books was proud to bring such masterpieces at the much-anticipated 2026 London Book Fair.
“One Man’s Life Touched by Jesus” by James Doyle Brandt stepped onto the international stage at the 2026 London Book Fair, held 10–12 March at Olympia, London. This year, the book fair welcomed 1,005 exhibitors and more than 33,000 visitors.
The London Book Fair (LBF) is one of the most prestigious events in the publishing world, uniting authors, publishers, literary agents, and industry professionals from over 100 countries. Far beyond a traditional book fair, it is a global marketplace for the sale and distribution of content across print, audio, film, and digital media — where deals are made, voices are amplified, and new stories find their readers.
This is where authors meet publishers, literary agents pitch to foreign buyers, and book lovers discover their next great read. It is, above all, where ideas become movements.
One Man’s Life Touched by Jesus: The Spiritual Growth of One Ordinary Man is James Doyle Brandt’s deeply personal account of a life lived fully and a faith that grew through every chapter of it. Born in 1950, Brandt has worn many hats: college athlete, Marine Corps pilot, software entrepreneur, congressional candidate, but it is not the accolades that anchor this memoir. It is the honest, unhurried story of one man’s heart being shaped by something far greater than ambition.
From the faith planted in childhood to the love found in family, and through decades of personal and professional challenges, Brandt traces the quiet but unmistakable ways Jesus showed up — and what it meant to finally answer the call to serve God above all else. For anyone navigating uncertainty, searching for meaning, or simply wondering if faith is enough to carry them through, this memoir offers a resounding and deeply human answer.
James Doyle Brandt is a former college football All-Conference athlete, Marine Corps pilot, entrepreneur, and two-time Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress. He has led in both the private and public sectors, including an executive role at one of the nation’s largest banks. Today, with the same conviction that carried him through decades of service, he is devoted to one mission: helping others find the life-changing peace that comes from faith in Jesus Christ.
