Book Expedition at the MIBF 2019

 


Get your travel gear ready for your most exciting trip yet—to the 40th Manila International Book Fair! As Church Strengthening Ministry celebrates its 30th anniversary, you can enjoy our bigger booth space with an even wider selection of books—still offered at P100 Lahat as our way of blessing the reading public.

CSM continues to hone local authors who have a message to share, and to make international bestselling titles available in the country, in order to produce Bible-based materials that are relevant to the needs of this generation. This year, we envision bringing our readers along on a “book expedition” – as our books become a vehicle to bring them from where they are to the destination purposed to them by our Master Guide, Jesus.

Your Itinerary

Love, relationships, and life itself can get complicated but let these new books be your supplemental guide: How Do I Know The One? by Nelson T. Dy, I Married an Alien: The Quirks of a Cross-Cultural Marriage by Grace Gaston-Dousel, The Other Cheek: What It Takes to Forgive by Grace D. Chong, and In The Triumph Song of Life: Turning Adversity to Strength by Grace Shangkuan Koo. Allow encouraging words to speak life to you in Take Heart, a unique collection of Letters of Faith, Hope, and Love from young writers for today’s youth, and a special devotional book for cat lovers entitled And God Also Made a Cat: 90 Devotions by Cat People, written by Vickie Costino. Wealth coach Chinkee Tan will also be releasing the fourth book in his bestselling Diary series, My Utang-Free Diary. You can meet and greet Chinkee Tan on Sept. 12, (Thursday), 1pm at the CSM booth.

New church ministry resources include How to Start a Senior Adults Ministry by Lizette Knight, and Preaching Nga Ba o Assuming Lang?  by Armand Canoy.
