Drawing around 30,000 attendees, this year’s London Book Fair showcased the vibrant world of publishing and creative content, marking a significant milestone in the industry. The fair not only maintained its impressive attendance figures but also celebrated a 10-percent boost in rights-center table sales compared to 2024.
Citi of Books is proud to have been part of this prestigious event, representing the incredible works of our talented authors in stand 7B94.

This book serves as a beacon of hope, reminding readers that no matter their past, they are never beyond the reach of God’s grace. It encourages individuals to embrace their flaws and imperfections, recognizing that they are accepted and loved just as they are.
The central message of the book is one of reassurance and encouragement. In times of worry and confusion, the author urges readers to seek God’s presence, emphasizing that He is always ready to forgive and guide. Through the blood of Jesus, believers can find solace and strength, knowing that their sins are washed away and that they are part of a divine plan.
