LOS ANGELES — At the 2026 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, author Robert Canton introduced his latest work, A Winnable War, during a book signing and interview at the MainSpring Books booth on April 18–19 at the University of Southern California campus. The festival, one of the nation's largest literary gatherings, attracted thousands of attendees seeking new ideas and direct engagement with authors.
Canton's book offers a thoughtful examination of spiritual warfare through the lens of Scripture and Catholic teaching, drawing from his decades of ministry experience spanning more than fifty countries. The work explores the realities of spiritual struggles while providing practical guidance, prayers, and biblical principles designed to help believers navigate adversity with confidence and hope. During his interview, Canton discussed the inspiration behind the book and the growing need for resources that help individuals understand and respond to spiritual challenges. He emphasized the importance of prayer, faith, and reliance on God's power, sharing insights gained through years of witnessing spiritual and physical healing in communities worldwide.
Festival attendees had the opportunity to learn about the book's central message: that spiritual battles are not fought alone and that believers are equipped with tools to persevere through faith. The conversation resonated with readers seeking encouragement, practical wisdom, and a deeper understanding of the Christian life. The appearance also highlighted Canton's broader body of work, which includes titles focused on spiritual growth and faith-filled living. Through personal interaction with readers, the event created meaningful opportunities for discussion about faith, resilience, and the enduring relevance of spiritual principles in everyday life.
