Actor Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains, Left Behind, Fireproof, Lifemark) recently reported that he was denied requests to host a reading of his new children’s book “As You Grow” at multiple public libraries around the nation.
Cameron’s new book is published by Brave Books, which releases a new children’s book every month to help parents tackle “difficult topics like gender identity, dangers of communism, cancel culture, critical race theory through family-friendly stories.” According to their website Brave Books’ goal is to “honor God by shaping a future generation of Americans, who will fight for a nation defined by freedom, truth, humility, bravery, and compassion.”
“As You Grow” is described as a “fun story with brilliant art” that “teaches the Biblical truths of the Fruit of the Spirit,” and although the story part of the book doesn’t mention God or contain any Bible verses, Cameron explained that the goal of the book is to teach biblical wisdom and values to children.
