DIMAPUR — Speaker, writer and pastor Liba Hopeson on Sunday launched his latest book ‘Thinking through the Times’ at Poumai Baptist Church, Kohima.

It seeks to encourage readers to think beyond narrow boundaries while providing practical perspectives for everyday living.
Thinking through the Times is a compilation of 52 articles written over two years and previously published in various newspapers.

Speaking at the book launch, Rev. Dr. Mar Pongener, general secretary of Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC), said the book was written in the context of contemporary society and observed that while many people can speak and write, only a few are able to produce a book.
He noted that writing articles requires dedication, but publishing a book demands wisdom, sacrifice, family support and financial resources.
Congratulating Hopeson on the release, Rev. Pongener expressed confidence that the book would reach a wide readership and positively impact individuals, families, communities and churches.
In his acknowledgement, Hopeson thanked everyone who supported his writing journey.
He also expressed gratitude to Eastern Mirror, The Morung Express, Nagaland Post, Hills Hornbill Express and Times of Senapati for publishing the articles that were later compiled into the book.
Through ‘Thinking through the Times,’’ Hopeson said he hopes to inspire readers not only to read, but also to think deeply and live meaningful lives.
