International book fairs play an important role in creating connections, bringing together the people and ideas that continue to shape the publishing industry. This year, LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026 welcomed the global publishing community to Barcelona for three days of networking, professional exchange, business opportunities, and conversations that opened new paths for books and their creators.
Taking place from September 29 to October 1, 2026, at Fira Barcelona Gran Via, Hall 1, LIBER 2026 served as a meeting point for the Spanish-language book industry and an important bridge between Europe and Latin America. The 44th edition brought together publishers, authors, agents, distributors, booksellers, rights buyers, and other industry professionals, creating opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, explore new markets, and discover possibilities within the evolving world of publishing.
Among the titles represented by Citi of Books at this year’s international gathering is “My Favorite Devotional Stories” by Paul Buchheimer. The book gives readers another opportunity to discover the author’s creative work and adds another distinctive title to the range of stories being brought into the LIBER community. Through its presence at the fair, the book can become part of conversations surrounding literature, publishing, and the ways authors can connect with readers across different markets.
“My Favorite Devotional Stories” by Paul Buchheimer is a collection of faith-centered stories created to entertain, encourage reflection, and inspire readers to grow in their Christian faith. The book comes from an author whose appreciation for meaningful stories developed through both his upbringing and his long career in education. Buchheimer explains that he grew up as a pastor’s son in a Christian home and later served as a teacher and devotional leader, experiences that gave him the opportunity to hear, remember, and share stories that made a lasting impression on him.
At the heart of the book is the idea that a well-told story can communicate a lesson in a way that is personal and memorable. Buchheimer’s stated purpose is to share entertaining and thought-provoking stories so that readers may be inspired and strengthened in their faith. This approach is consistent with his earlier writing, where he described stories as a way to capture people’s attention while encouraging them to consider their relationships with God and with other people.
His experience in Christian education also shaped his understanding of storytelling as an effective teaching tool. My Favorite Devotional Stories therefore brings together the qualities of a devotional, a collection of personal reflections, and an accessible work of Christian storytelling.
Drawing upon stories that Buchheimer has encountered and retained throughout his life, the collection invites readers to look beyond the immediate events of each narrative and consider the faith-related lessons that can emerge from them. Because the author has spent many years in Christian education and devotional leadership, his approach is rooted in the belief that stories can open the door to meaningful conversations about God, relationships, personal choices, and faith.
For readers looking for inspirational Christian literature that combines storytelling with opportunities for reflection, the book offers an inviting way to slow down, enjoy a meaningful narrative, and consider how its lesson might apply to their own journey of faith.
With its focus on international business, professional networking, and the expansion of Spanish-language publishing into European and Latin American markets, LIBER provides a setting where these connections can take shape.
