Indianapolis




Adults and children filled the Indianapolis Public Library main branch on Thursday to hear actor, writer, and film producer Kirk Cameron read his recently published children s book, As You Grow.

The library organization initially denied Cameron the opportunity to read the book for its story hour but later allowed the event to happen

A video recording shows a long line of people walking into the building, and photos capture families sitting on the floor and standing against the wall.

This was the largest event held at the library in its 137 years of existence, Zac Bell with BRAVE Books, who is with the book publisher, commented. The turnout was phenomenal! We were blown away.


The Cameron book centers around a tree s growth and teaches children about family, faith, and biblical wisdom.
Cameron and his publisher recently criticized libraries that will not allow a public reading of his book but offer drag queen story hours for children.

However, No more will the family of faith be shut out from the public square!

God bless you and Happy New Year,  he said.
The author is scheduled to read his book at Scarsdale New York Library today.

You seem impressed.  That sort of thing has always had a loud, loyal and limited audience. There is a reason Kirk Cameron movies get made. And a reason they have limited boutique releases. Almost the literal definition of preaching to the choir.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Then why would a public supported Library refuse to let him have a public reading?

Judging from the overflow  packed house that resulted when the Library changed its mind I would say the Choir just got a lot of bigger. 2500 people showed up at the Indianapolis Library.

What I wonder about the Left Behind series, in which Cameron starred, is when do they get to the other cheek?  Surely the right behind also deserves our consideration.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

On the other hand no PR is ever more powerful than banning a book or performance.

The know it all Christians of my high school days tried it with Winesburg, Ohio.
The school library ordered 25 more copies of the Sherwood Anderson classic.

A tremendous lesson for the right to learn everytime they and you get incensed over trans reading performances or books the discuss sexuality and gender identity.

2500 hundred people show up to listen to a banned Christian author and you want to lecture them?

No. And you should learn English before trying Latin. Also, math.

According to the Indianapolis library the number of people attending Camerons homophobic pity party was not.2500 hundred, or.even 2500, but 750. Big enough a crowd you wonder at his need to lie about it. But then, it is the era of Trump.

But he will meet alone with similarly situated men. I am going to guess you do not comprehend why this is a serious equality issue.

Me, I wouldn't be allowing myself to be alone in the company of a man either.
Not a man, not a woman (they seem to be the ones making the most false allegations), and not children of any age.
100% protection.
