Urim Books (www.urimbooks.com) took part in the 18th Seoul International Book Fair 2012, in which approximately 580 publishers from 20 countries gathered and displayed their products. The book fair was organized by the Korean Publishers Associations, and held in COEX, Samseong-dong in southern Seoul from June 20 to 24, under the theme “The Future is in Books.”
Urim Books displayed Dr. Jaerock Lee’s 64 books in Korean and also more than 200 books in 40 languages. Taking full advantage of widely-used digital ministry, Urim Books also presented those books in various media such as e-books in 34 languages.
The booth’s ambience allowed visitors to enjoy a feeling of comfort as though they were in a personal library in Heaven. There were also two special places in the booth. The “Photo Wall” where visitors had the opportunity to have keep-sake photos taken and a break area for comfortable leisure reading of books. In particular, they were provided with a chance to read electronic books from Urim Books through Kyobo e-book reader, iPad and Amazon Kindle Fire, which drew great attention from visitors.
A staff member from Urim Books stated, “Urim was adopted from the breast-piece of judgment that Israelite priests used to ask God’s will in the Old Testament times as recorded in Exodus 28:30. Urim means light in Hebrew and indicates God’s Word that gives us true life. Urim Books will keep spreading the gospel to more souls in the world through its active publication ministry.”
