God also opened doors for deep, personal conversations. One young man asked if a staff member would be willing to spend time answering his questions. He opened his Bible and shared a list of 30 questions he had about God, the incarnation, and salvation. They talked together at length, and arranged to continue the conversation later at the bookshop. We pray that this journey will lead to a deeper understanding of Christ.
All of our new products were very warmly received, with thousands of visitors purchasing highly subsidized Scripture resources at a symbolic price. We also launched English editions of two popular titles—The Most Amazing Book and Heroes Stories—to serve both international visitors and members of the diaspora. As in previous years, all Book Fair offers were also available across our nationwide network of bookshops, making this a peak period for distribution. During the Book Fair season, a total of 140,000 Scripture products were distributed through these combined channels.
