Every great book begins with an idea, but every memorable reading journey begins with the opportunity to discover it. That is exactly what makes the Hong Kong Book Fair 2026 such a remarkable event. Bringing together readers, authors, publishers, educators, and literary professionals from around the world, the fair has become one of Asia’s premier celebrations of literature and publishing. More than an exhibition of books, it is a place where stories cross borders, ideas spark meaningful conversations, and new voices find readers eager to turn the very first page.
Organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), this year’s fair takes place from July 15–21, 2026, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) under the inspiring theme, “Cultural Legacy | Joyful Journeys.” Alongside an impressive lineup of internationally renowned authors, cultural seminars, exhibitions, and interactive programs, the event continues to promote reading as a gateway to discovering different cultures and perspectives.
As the publishing industry continues to evolve, international book fairs remain essential spaces where creativity and collaboration meet. They provide authors with opportunities to introduce their work to wider audiences, while giving readers access to an extraordinary range of books that reflect diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences. Whether you’re searching for an inspiring memoir, a compelling novel, an educational resource, or a beautifully illustrated children’s book, the Hong Kong Book Fair offers countless opportunities to discover stories that inform, entertain, and inspire.
For Citi of Books, participating in the Hong Kong Book Fair is more than showcasing publications on an international stage. It reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting authors throughout their publishing journey and connecting their work with readers across the globe. Every title displayed at our exhibit represents countless hours of creativity, dedication, and passion. We believe every author has a story worth sharing, and every reader deserves the opportunity to discover a book that leaves a lasting impression.
Among the titles proudly featured by Citi of Books this year is “Above and Beyond: The Mystery of the Cross” by Rev. Dr. Richard Young. This remarkable work exemplifies the diversity of voices that define our growing collection, offering readers a unique perspective through engaging storytelling, thoughtful insights, and a message that resonates beyond its final chapter. We are delighted to introduce this title to the international audience attending the Hong Kong Book Fair and invite visitors to experience the author’s work firsthand.
“Above and Beyond: The Mystery of the Cross” by Rev. Dr. Richard Young is a passionate biblical study that seeks to reveal the profound spiritual significance of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. Rather than viewing the cross solely as a historical event, Young invites readers to explore its eternal implications for humanity, explaining how Christ’s sacrifice represents God’s ultimate expression of mercy, justice, and redeeming love. Through a verse-by-verse examination of Scripture, the author presents the cross as the central foundation of the Christian faith, revealing its relevance not only to salvation but also to every aspect of a believer’s spiritual life. His writing is intended to encourage readers to deepen their understanding of God’s redemptive plan while strengthening their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
The book extends beyond the events of Calvary to examine what Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection accomplished for humanity. Young explores questions that many Christians have pondered throughout history, including what transpired during Christ’s suffering, the significance of the repentant thief on the cross, and the spiritual victory achieved through Jesus’ resurrection. Combining biblical exposition with pastoral insight, the author encourages readers to move beyond a surface-level understanding of the Gospel and embrace the transforming power of Christ’s sacrifice. His goal is to inspire believers to experience a deeper appreciation of God’s grace while preparing them to share the message of salvation with others.
The book is especially valuable for believers seeking to deepen their faith, Bible study groups exploring foundational Christian doctrine, and anyone searching for a richer understanding of the Gospel. Rather than presenting theology as merely academic, Young challenges readers to respond personally to Christ’s sacrifice and allow its message to shape their lives. Through its emphasis on Scripture, salvation, and spiritual growth, “Above and Beyond: The Mystery of the Cross” offers an inspiring reminder that the cross is not only the centerpiece of Christian history but also the enduring source of hope, forgiveness, and eternal life for all who believe.
