Christian Story Hour with Kirk Cameron

When an Arizona library denied Ricardo Frias the opportunity to host a reading of Kirk Cameron’s book As You Grow, First Liberty stepped in to set the library straight.

Today on First Liberty Live!, Kirk Cameron joins us to discuss why this sets a distressing precedent of the censorship of people of faith and how it’s time for us to take back the hearts and minds of children throughout America.
