As the pages of history turn, we find ourselves reflecting on a remarkable milestone—the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book festival in the United States, held on April 26-27, 2025. Set against the stunning backdrop of the University of Southern California campus, this annual celebration of literature brought together thousands of book lovers, authors, and industry professionals for a weekend brimming with literary magic.
Attracting around 150,000 attendees from Southern California and beyond, the festival was a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the community it fosters. Each event, each conversation, and each shared moment contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrated the diverse voices and stories that shape our world.
This year, Citi of Books was thrilled to be part of this vibrant gathering, where the love for literature was palpable in the air. Whether you were a lifelong bibliophile or a curious newcomer exploring the world of books, the festival provided a unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and share our passion for the written word.
As we look back on this unforgettable weekend, we invite you to join us in reliving the highlights of Citi of Books’ gallery during the 30th Los Angeles Times Festival of Books—a true celebration of the literary arts! A book included in the gallery was “Living God’s Life” by W.J. Caywood.
W.J. Caywood is a native of Arizona, a graduate of the University of Arizona with a BA in Religious Studies (2000), and a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary with an MDIV (2008). He serves as a campus minister with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) in the division of Graduate and Faculty Ministry (GFM).
“Living God’s Life” is a study and reflection on 2 Peter’s epistle, with a focus on how Christians might apply the messages, ideas, and exhortations of this New Testament letter in today’s changing world.
We live in an era when the divide between the perception of the Gospel truth and the experience of the Gospel truth for Christian people (to say nothing about others) is more tenuous than prior generations. Evidence of this tension can be readily observed and felt in what Christians report about themselves and how they are responding to the quickening shifts in society and Western culture. We need to, once again, find the path to be grounded in the truth as revealed in the Person of Jesus the Messiah. In him, we can learn experientially about God, the holiness of life, and the practice of God’s righteousness together in the community in order to be faithful witnesses in this generation.
