Book launch "Keeping the Faith - travel the world" at Whangaparoaa Library

Authors Jocelyn Watkin and Kim Gabites will be launching the second edition of their book “Keeping the Faith – Travel the World” at the Whangaparaoa Library and Service Centre in the Whangaparaoa Town Centre today at 2 – 2:45 pm.

Since its initial launch in August 2007, interest keeps growing in “Keeping the Faith – Travel the World”. It is a travel tale that many New Zealanders want to read - how to be a footloose, fancy-free and how to pay for it. The book was awarded a top 5-star rating by the on-line financial bookstore Good Returns, along with the warning: “This book changes lives”

Copies in libraries across New Zealand are in constant demand and the feedback from all ages and professions has been “inspiring”, “powerful” and “very readable”.

Kim says, “Keeping the Faith – Travel the World” tells the story of Faith MacDiarmid, a financial tactician and keen traveller. The book shows how easy goal setting and financial planning can be when there is a compelling motivator like travel.”

Jocelyn says, “It’s about journeys – Faith’s own, which shape her money beliefs and life, and those of her clients who get to live their dreams. The reader shares these journeys with Faith, peering over her shoulder like a pillion passenger, as she talks to her clients and helps them to take off on their travel goals.”

Jocelyn and Kim are keen to help other writers. At the launch, they will share their knowledge on how they co-wrote, published and now promote “Keeping the Faith – Travel the World” and they will also reveal their seven steps for successful travel saving.

For serious travellers, armchair dreamers, book lovers and aspiring writers this event has something for everyone, with a chance to have a longer chat with Jocelyn and Kim after their presentation. In addition, the Whangaparaoa Library and Service Centre will have displays available of books from their travel and investment sections.

This event is open to everyone and is free of charge.
