_^From its humble origins in 1990 at City Hall with just 149 exhibitors and 200,000 visitors, the HONG KONG BOOK FAIR has grown into one of Asia’s most anticipated cultural events. Now held annually at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the fair has become a dynamic convergence of literature, technology, and global storytelling—drawing over a million visitors at its peak and expanding to include thematic zones, art installations, and offsite cultural programs. Its growth mirrors Hong Kong’s rising stature as a hub for cross-border creativity and publishing.

This year, the 35th HONG KONG BOOK FAIR 2025, held from July 16 to 22, 2025, welcomed over 770 exhibitors from more than 30 countries and regions, reaffirming its role as a global meeting point for publishers, authors, and readers. With the theme:

“Reading The World — Food Culture • Future Living”

The fair explored how food, memory, and cultural identity shape the stories we tell and the lives we live. More than 620 events unfolded throughout the week, including author talks, literary forums, and culinary-themed book launches. One of the standout exhibitions, “Book a Table: Food for Thought,” featured artist-designed installations in collaboration with international consulates—celebrating the deep connection between storytelling and the shared experience of food. The entire fair served as a rich canvas for publishing houses to present narratives that go beyond the page, capturing both heritage and imagination.

Kravitz & Sons joined this celebration not just to display titles, but to participate in the larger dialogue—how storytelling evolves alongside the world it reflects. Our selections were chosen to spark conversations around memory, identity, innovation, and belonging—conversations that cut across borders and generations. As the fair unfolded amid bustling crowds and global voices, it became clear that HONG KONG BOOK FAIR 2025 wasn’t just an exhibition of books; it was a living dialogue between past traditions and future imaginations. We’re proud to be part of that story.

The author, Ronald Jirovec, continues his poetic journey in this third installment, offering an ever-deepening expression of his devotion to faith, truth, and biblical wisdom. With a voice that blends prophetic urgency with lyrical grace, Jirovec doesn’t just write poetry—he opens spiritual dialogues. He challenges and comforts, often in the same breath, guiding readers toward deeper insight and reflection.

Poems for Praise, Comfort, and Joy – Volume III is not merely a continuation—it’s a crescendo. Ronald Jirovec brings another compelling series of over 250 poems that explore the intersection of human experience and divine purpose. With themes covering spiritual growth, repentance, endurance, divine love, and the complexities of modern faith, this volume is as rich in theology as it is in artistry.

The tone is boldly direct, yet always redemptive. Whether Jirovec is tackling the brokenness of the world or the promise of God’s grace, his words ring with clarity and conviction. Readers will encounter poems that sing with praise, wrestle with doubt, and whisper hope in moments of silence.

One of the strengths of Volume III is its refusal to shy away from hard truths. In a time when comfort is often mistaken for truth, these poems offer both—rooted deeply in Scripture and personal revelation. Each piece is a spiritual meal that aligns beautifully with the message of HONG KONG BOOK FAIR 2025: nourishing the mind and soul with stories that matter.

This volume belongs at the fair not just because it uplifts—but because it speaks. It speaks to faith in crisis, identity in transition, and the eternal thread of divine love that weaves through every human chapter.
