    Actor Kirk Cameron is introducing his new book, ‘As You Grow’

    Libraries, both school and public, across the nation for years now have been promoting various “drag queen” story hours, with performers from that industry who prance for children, encourage them to explore sexual alternatives, and sometimes read them LGBT books.

    Into that atmosphere, Christian actor and author Kirk Cameron stepped.

    He asked for similar accommodations for readings of his book, “As you Grow,” and was rejected out-of-hand by dozens of institutions, with officials often telling him bluntly that they didn’t agree with his conservative message and wouldn’t allow it.

    But finally a library or two agreed, and the stunner was that 2,500 people showed up for Cameron’s reading at the Indianapolis Public Library this week, more than the attendance at any other event the library has held.

    Fox News says Cameron originally was denied or ignored by more than 50 libraries.

    Then when the Indianapolis institution finally agreed to an event, publisher Brave Books shared video and images of the event on social media and with Fox News Digital.

    “Numerous postings show the overflow crowds that greeted Cameron on Thursday,” the report said.

    “Yesterday, a brushfire of faith, family and freedom ignited inside the Indianapolis Public Library. It’s in Scarsdale, New York, today [Friday] and it’s moving across America, awakening the sleeping giant of the family of faith,” Cameron said in a statement.

    Cameron, former “Growing Pains” star, said, “The land of the free depends on the homes of the brave.”

    He previously had told Fox, “One of the things I love about our country is its commitment to the sharing of knowledge and the free expression of ideas. That is why I’m excited to bring Brave Books Story Hour to public libraries across the country.”

    WND reported that Cameron had declared victory in his pursuit of story hours when several libraries agreed to his requests to use their facilities.
