Every year, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books becomes livelier and brighter due to the growing number of attendees. From book lovers, casual readers, and literary collectors to authors and publishers, people gathered to celebrate literacy.
The largest book festival in the US opened its doors last April for a glamorous two-day weekend celebration with the bookworms. Held at the University of Southern California, many book enthusiasts, book lovers, and book collectors, as well as writers, established authors, and many more, attended the free event.
A lot of bookfair-goers went by the Citi of Books booth to check for their next read and potential favorite book. One of the books that were chosen is “The Time is NOW” by Patricia A. Murray. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
“The Time is NOW” by Patricia A. Murray, with illustrations by Lori Richards, is a heartfelt and urgent guide for those seeking to understand true salvation. Murray writes with a dual purpose: to clarify misconceptions about being born again and to highlight the urgency of embracing genuine faith in today’s turbulent times.
Many believe that good works alone are enough for salvation, but Murray emphasizes the crucial connection between the blood of Jesus and our redemption. She draws from Matthew 24 and 25, illustrating that current global events are a sign of the times Jesus referred to as the “beginning of sorrows.” This serves as a stark reminder that time may be shorter than we think.
Murray’s message is clear and compelling: Jesus loves us as we are, and the opportunity to embrace His salvation is now. Do not wait. Understanding and accepting this truth is vital to navigating the uncertainties of our world. The time for true transformation is now—don’t delay.
