The Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) stands as one of the most significant literary gatherings in the world, bringing together publishers, authors, literary professionals, and readers from across the globe. Recognized as the world’s second-largest book fair and Asia’s most influential publishing event, BIBF showcases hundreds of thousands of titles while fostering international collaboration, cultural exchange, and innovation within the publishing industry. Each year, the fair attracts more than 2,600 exhibitors from over 100 countries and regions, making it a premier destination for discovering new voices, ideas, and publishing opportunities.
Over the years, Citi of Books has actively participated in a wide range of international literary events, including book fairs, publishing conferences, exhibitions, author showcases, and book signings. These events have provided valuable opportunities to connect with readers, build relationships within the publishing industry, and introduce talented authors to broader audiences. Through its continued commitment to promoting diverse voices and meaningful stories, Citi of Books has established itself as a publishing partner dedicated to helping authors reach readers around the world.
Building on the success of its 2025 edition, the BIBF remains committed to fostering cultural connections through literature. Held from June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center in Beijing, this year’s fair once again brings together publishers, authors, industry professionals, and readers from across the globe for five days of literary discovery, rights negotiations, educational initiatives, and meaningful cultural exchange.
Citi of Books was honored to showcase the work of its talented authors on the international stage, presenting a diverse range of titles at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair. This prestigious global event provided an invaluable opportunity to connect these works with readers, publishers, and literary professionals from around the world while celebrating the power of books to bridge cultures and inspire meaningful conversations. Among the featured works that drew attention from attendees was “God Is Love: Not the God You Are Imagining” by R.I. Willroth.
“God Is Love: Not the God You Are Imagining” by R.I. Willroth is a spiritual re-examination of divine love and the nature of God — a book that invites readers to look beyond common cultural or religious assumptions and discover a deeper, more personal understanding of love at the heart of God.
This book challenges readers to move beyond superficial or culturally shaped views of God and to re-encounter the divine through the lens of love itself. The book begins by asking questions about love’s origin, meaning, and purpose, guiding readers to see that if God is the supreme force in the universe, then love must be an essential expression of that power. This is not only about ethical love (how we treat others) but about love as a foundational reality that shapes the nature of God and all creation.
The themes explored are especially relevant today, when many people carry wounded ideas of love based on past hurts, cultural expectations, or religious teaching that emphasized fear over compassion. This book invites a shift in perspective — from fear to hope, from judgment to acceptance, and from religious duty to heartfelt connection.
Ultimately, “God Is Love: Not the God You Are Imagining” is an invitation to rethink who God is and what divine love truly means. It encourages readers to move past familiar assumptions and to explore spirituality through the lens of unconditional love — a force that is not limited by human logic or experience but instead seeks to draw all people into a deeper understanding of goodness, compassion, and spiritual belonging.
As BIBF continues to unite readers, writers, and publishers across continents, Citi of Books remains proud to contribute to this global celebration of storytelling and knowledge. We look forward to the continued growth of international literary connections at BIBF 2026 and beyond, where books serve as bridges between cultures, ideas, and generations.
