The 31st Beijing International Book Fair, held from June 18 to 22, 2025, gathered the global publishing community under one roof for a week of cultural exchange, literary discovery, and dialogue. Hosted at the China National Convention Center, this year’s fair featured more than 1,700 exhibitors from 80 countries, showcasing over 400,000 titles across 50,000 square meters. With debut participation from countries such as Ethiopia, Chile, Bangladesh, and Jamaica, the event reflected an increasingly interconnected literary landscape. Nearly 300,000 visitors attended on opening day alone, reaffirming the fair’s significance as a world-class platform for the written word.
“Empower book fair with new technology and create a never-ending exchange platform for international book industry.”
– BIBF
Amid this remarkable gathering, Kravitz&Sons joined publishers, authors, and industry professionals in celebrating the enduring power of books. Our involvement at BIBF 2025 was not about spotlighting achievements, but about contributing to a shared space where ideas are exchanged, cultures meet, and meaningful conversations begin—through literature.
For us, this event was an opportunity to thoughtfully present works that reflect diverse perspectives and lived experience. Each book brought to the fair was chosen not only for its literary value but for its ability to resonate across borders. The conversations it sparked—whether about faith, identity, struggle, or hope—reminded us that stories remain one of the most powerful tools for connection in an ever-evolving world.
As BIBF 2025 concluded, it became clear that the fair is more than a showcase—it’s a movement. One that blends tradition with technology, diversity with unity, and publishing with purpose. Kravitz&Sons is honored to take part in that ongoing journey.
Ronald Jirovec writes poetry that doesn’t tiptoe around the truth. His verses come packed with conviction, steeped in scriptural instruction, and unapologetically honest about life’s toughest climbs. With recurring themes of spiritual wisdom, philosophical depth, personal hardship, and raw introspection, Jirovec’s work urges readers to do more than feel something—it demands they think, reflect, and ultimately, grow. He invites you into the wilderness of human experience, not to get lost, but to come out sharper, clearer, and more grounded in God’s purpose.
That’s exactly the spirit Poems for Praise, Comfort, and Joy – Volume 3 brings to the Beijing International Book Fair. This isn’t a passive collection of feel-good reflections. It’s an unfiltered map of life’s mountains, valleys, and spiritual battlegrounds. From philosophical musings and Latin phrases to deeply personal stories and poetic prayers, this book walks readers through the heart of struggle and out the other side—with clarity and truth.
The volume stands out not just for its thematic range, but for how it speaks to the times. In an age drowning in noise and self-help fluff, Jirovec’s work offers a refreshing dose of unvarnished truth. These are poems for people who are tired of skimming the surface and want to dig deep—for meaning, for direction, for something real. Whether it’s a metaphorical hike through Yosemite’s Half Dome or a spiritual reckoning in the trenches of modern life, this book reminds us we are all on a trek—and how we walk it matters.
That’s why its presence at the fair isn’t just a matter of prestige. It’s about purpose. Volume 3 brings something needed to the table: a voice that dares to be bold, thoughtful, and spiritually grounded in a landscape of literary trends.
This one doesn’t just speak—it calls.
