Where Curiosity, Logic, and Belief Come Together
From its modest beginnings in 1949, when postwar publishers gathered in Frankfurt to rebuild and share new ideas, the Frankfurter Buchmesse has grown into the world’s most important international book fair. Over the decades, it has transformed from a regional gathering of German publishers into a global platform where stories are launched, partnerships are forged, and the future of publishing is shaped. That journey of steady growth, vision, and innovation is what makes the fair so influential today.
Now celebrating its 77th year, the Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025 is set to host more than 7,500 exhibitors from across the globe. It offers far more than book displays: visitors can explore groundbreaking titles, attend insightful discussions with leading authors and thinkers, witness the latest in publishing technology, and discover how books continue to evolve across media and cultures. It’s not just a fair — it’s a creative crossroads where tradition meets tomorrow.
The Imagination Peoples the Air
Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025
Adding to the excitement, the Philippines takes center stage as the Guest of Honour for 2025, presenting the theme “The Imagination Peoples the Air” — a powerful nod to the nation’s storytelling spirit inspired by José Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere. With over a hundred Filipino authors, artists, and events bringing the country’s rich literary heritage and contemporary voices to Frankfurt, this year’s fair celebrates not only books but also the vibrant diversity of global storytelling.
Amid this global celebration of intellect and imagination, Kravitz & Sons proudly features Eu Acredito No Papai Noel E Eu Acredito Em Deus: Por Que Eu Acredito (Portuguese Edition) by J. Lynn Currie — an inspiring work that examines faith through reason, revealing belief as both a rational pursuit and a deeply personal choice.
Finding Logic in Faith and Faith in Logic
In Eu Acredito No Papai Noel E Eu Acredito Em Deus, author J. Lynn Currie opens an honest dialogue about belief — what it means, where it comes from, and why it remains both logical and essential in an age of doubt.
Currie presents the idea that believing in God makes as much sense scientifically and philosophically as disbelief does. Through careful reasoning and reflection, he challenges the notion that faith must conflict with intellect. He argues that consciousness, morality, and purpose cannot arise from lifeless matter, and that the evidence of design within creation points unmistakably toward God.
The book also explores free will — humanity’s freedom to choose belief or skepticism. In Currie’s view, both choices are acts of understanding shaped by evidence and trust. By linking the wonder of believing in Santa Claus with the profound choice of believing in God, he reminds readers that faith is not a relic of childhood, but a lifelong adventure of thought, imagination, and conviction.
A Thoughtful Scholar of Faith and Mind
J. Lynn Currie holds undergraduate degrees in philosophy and theology from Lincoln Christian University, along with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in psychology from the University of Illinois at Springfield. His graduate research focused on religiosity and human behavior — a foundation that continues to inform his reflections on belief and understanding.
Throughout his career, Currie has served as a teacher, vocational counselor, and research analyst in public programs. His experience blends academia, psychology, and ministry, creating a perspective that bridges science and spirituality.
Beyond his professional life, Currie is an active member of his local Episcopal Church in Decatur, Illinois, where he and his wife serve in various ministries. His writing reflects a lifetime of inquiry — combining reasoned argument with heartfelt faith to reach readers across cultural and linguistic boundaries.
Why It Belongs on the Global Stage
At the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025, Eu Acredito No Papai Noel E Eu Acredito Em Deus (Portuguese Edition) extends a universal conversation — that belief, at its heart, is both a choice of the mind and an act of love.
By weaving together logic, evidence, and emotion, Currie speaks not only to Christians but to anyone seeking to reconcile science with spirituality. His message transcends language, offering readers around the world a framework to explore faith without fear of reason.
This Portuguese edition symbolizes the growing global reach of thoughtful Christian writing — inviting readers across cultures to rediscover the rational beauty of belief. In doing so, it stands as a testament to the Frankfurter Buchmesse’s enduring mission: to share stories that enlighten, inspire, and unite humanity through understanding.
