Dr. Michael W. Wesley Sr. will be heading to the Manila International Book Fair 2026 for a special book signing on September 9, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Booth 2-102, SMX Convention Center, Pasay City. With four decades of pastoral service at Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. Wesley brings years of counseling, leadership, teaching, and ministry experience to a collection of books that explore some of life's most significant experiences and decisions.
Featured at the event are four distinctive titles: “Everybody Deserves A Good Funeral,” “When God Changes A Church,” “Unsung Hero,” and “So, You Want To Be Married?” Together, the books offer readers perspectives shaped by Dr. Wesley's extensive work with individuals, families, churches, and communities, connecting biblical principles with lessons drawn from real-life experiences.
“Everybody Deserves A Good Funeral” examines the universal experience of death and the many traditions, emotions, and expectations surrounding funerals, drawing upon Dr. Wesley's decades of experience conducting and witnessing services across different circumstances. More than a discussion of funeral practices, the book considers how families can preserve dignity, understanding, and respect during an intensely vulnerable period while encouraging readers to look beyond assumptions about how grief should be expressed.
“When God Changes a Church” chronicles the transformation of Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, presenting a story shaped by vision, adversity, courage, faith, and the willingness to embrace a broader mission. Rather than offering a simple formula for church growth, the book explores how spiritual transformation begins with leadership and how a congregation rooted in tradition can develop an outward-looking mission with opportunities to influence communities and reach people around the world.
“Unsung Hero” tells the story of a pastor, educator, and visionary who challenged limitations and learned to see possibilities beyond the circumstances surrounding him. Through a journey marked by humble beginnings, obstacles, community revitalization, and the growth of a major Birmingham church, the book emphasizes that meaningful leadership is ultimately measured not by recognition or title but by purpose, faith, vision, and the courage to pursue what God places in one's heart.
“So, You Want to Be Married?” combines biblical principles, practical relationship guidance, premarital considerations, and counseling insights to address the realities people encounter before and during marriage. Written for individuals and couples alike, the book speaks to those preparing for marriage and navigating difficulties within a relationship, offering thoughtful applications of Scripture alongside lessons drawn from years of pastoral counseling.
Dr. Wesley's work extends beyond the pulpit, reflecting a lifelong commitment to education, community development, leadership, and service. As a retired educator and founder of multiple nonprofit initiatives, he has spoken at churches, schools, conventions, and gatherings across the United States and abroad, while his television, radio, and internet broadcasts have allowed his message to reach audiences around the world.
His appearance at the Manila International Book Fair offers readers an opportunity to encounter these ideas directly through four books that address grief and remembrance, spiritual leadership, personal potential, and relationships. Attendees can meet Dr. Wesley, have their books signed, and discover works shaped by a lifetime of ministry and a commitment to helping people approach life's challenges with greater wisdom, faith, and purpose.
