Father Ken Deasy Brings “Get Off The Cross; Someone Else Needs The Wood” To Frankfurt Book Fair 2025

“Get Off The Cross; Someone Else Needs The Wood: Trippin’ With A Roamin’ Catholic Priest” by Father Ken Deasy will be featured at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2025, the world’s leading publishing and cultural event, taking place 15–19 October at Messe Frankfurt.

Father Ken will be signing copies and giving away free signed editions of his book at The Maple Staple and Inks & Bindings stand in Hall 5.1, Stand D86 on Saturday, October 18, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Part memoir, part manifesto, Father Ken’s book confronts religion and modern life with equal measures of humor, frankness, and compassion. From counseling Hollywood insiders and gang members alike, to redefining what it means to serve in an internet-driven, 24/7 world, he challenges the faithful to discover God, faith, and endurance in unexpected places. His guiding motto imparted to him by a friend—now the title of his book—captures both his wit and his mission: to strip away pretense and focus on love, service, and community.

A Los Angeles native and longtime pastor at St. Agatha’s Catholic Parish, Father Ken grew from a troubled childhood into a reformer, healer, and leader who continues to support communities across Los Angeles, Haiti, Kenya, and beyond. His ministry, friendships, and faith have impacted lives across cultural, economic, and spiritual divides.

The signing will be part of The Maple Staple and Inks & Bindings’ expanded Frankfurt program, which includes author appearances, book giveaways, and an audiobook listening area showcasing over 150 titles.

“Get Off The Cross; Someone Else Needs The Wood: Trippin’ With A Roamin’ Catholic Priest” will be available in free signed editions during Father Ken’s appearance at Hall 5.1, Stand D86. For readers worldwide, the book can be purchased via Amazon and through the author’s official website, fatherken.org.
