Where Belief, Logic, and Heart Find Common Ground
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 international celebration of ideas, Kravitz & Sons proudly presents Creo En Santa Claus Y Creo En Dios: Por Qué Creo (Spanish Edition) by J. Lynn Currie — a thoughtful exploration of faith and logic that invites readers to see belief not as blind devotion, but as a reasoned and meaningful choice.
Exploring Faith Through Logic and Wonder
In Creo En Santa Claus Y Creo En Dios: Por Qué Creo (Spanish Edition), author J. Lynn Currie shares his deeply personal yet intellectually grounded reflections on why belief in God makes sense — scientifically, philosophically, and emotionally.
Currie begins with a simple but profound challenge: in a world that questions everything, can faith still stand on reason? He argues that belief in God is not only rational but deeply aligned with evidence and experience. Through clear reasoning, he rejects the idea that something can come from nothing or that consciousness, morality, and love could emerge from inanimate matter. Instead, he points to design, purpose, and order as signs of a divine creator — a God who exists beyond time and space.
The book also addresses the freedom of belief — that faith and skepticism alike are choices, each shaped by the evidence one sees and the faith one holds. By linking the innocence of childhood wonder (symbolized by belief in Santa Claus) with the mature reasoning of belief in God, Currie bridges emotion and intellect, helping readers rediscover the beauty of believing.
A Philosopher’s Mind with a Believer’s Heart
J. Lynn Currie holds undergraduate degrees in philosophy and theology from Lincoln Christian University, as well as a B.A. and M.A. in psychology from the University of Illinois at Springfield, where he focused on social psychology and research design. His master’s thesis examined the role of religiosity in human life — a topic that continues to shape his thought and writing.
Currie has worked as a teacher, counselor, and research analyst across government and educational programs, using his expertise to explore the intersection of belief, behavior, and human purpose. Beyond academia, he has served in multiple church roles, including youth sponsor, deacon, and teacher.
He and his wife are active members of the Episcopal Church in Decatur, Illinois, where faith and reflection continue to guide both his personal life and professional calling.
Why It Belongs on the Global Stage
At the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025, where cultures and ideas converge in dialogue, Creo En Santa Claus Y Creo En Dios (Spanish Edition) offers an essential voice in the ongoing conversation about faith in the modern world.
By merging scientific thought with spiritual insight, J. Lynn Currie invites readers — whether believers, seekers, or skeptics — to explore the foundations of belief with clarity and compassion. His book demonstrates that faith need not fear logic; instead, it can thrive through it.
In presenting this Spanish Edition, Currie extends his message to a wider audience, emphasizing that truth and belief transcend language and culture. Creo En Santa Claus Y Creo En Dios is more than a defense of faith — it is a celebration of the human capacity to question, reason, and believe with both the heart and the mind.
