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 “I Am Baptized” by Richard Jespersen. It was displayed on April 20th and 21st at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California.
Baptism is a significant event for every Christian, and you can now celebrate its transformative power with this beautifully illustrated book that captures the sacrament’s wonder and symbolism.
Author Richard A. Jespersen, who holds a Master of Divinity from Luther-Northwestern Theological Seminary and a Master of Science in Education, Guidance, and Counseling from North Dakota State University, currently resides and serves in north-central Montana.
Jespersen’s thoughtful reflections link our everyday experience of water with the sacred significance of baptismal water, brought to life through Brenda Hermundstad Yirsa’s stunning illustrations.
Filled with numerous scripture quotations, this imaginative exploration of what God accomplishes through baptism will help readers of all ages approach the sacrament with greater reverence.
