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.
In collaboration with Citi of Books, the author of “Caught Between Heaven and Hell: How We’ve Been Tricked into False Belief,” Donald Stewart, held a successful book signing event during the 2025 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.
Donald Stewart (MBA, DMin, PhD) spent the first two decades of his working years in the aerospace industry, transitioning into pastoral ministry after the moon programs closed. After serving for nearly forty years as a pastor, Don became active in discipleship ministries including Christian Life Coaching.
He has also been a management consultant for many churches and other Christian ministries. Currently the founder and CEO of Luke 4:18 Ministries, Don resides in Bend, Oregon with his wife, Pauline. Don enjoys fly-fishing, backpacking, camping, radio control model woodworking, and woodcarving.
His book was featured by Citi of Books’ Book Gallery during the 76th Frankfurt International Book Fair last October 2024.
