Actor, film producer, and author Kirk Cameron met with children, parents, and grandparents in New Jersey at his 10th story-hour stop, saying he found renewed hope that “God’s not finished with America.”
Cameron met with about 700 people who showed up to Cherry Hill Library to hear him read his faith-based children’s book As You Grow, published by Brave Books.
Musician and Let Us Worship founder Sean Feucht also joined Cameron, leading those in attendance in faith-filled songs of worship, the national anthem, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
The publisher told the Washington Examiner that the crowd’s size meant some families had to wait outside for about two hours for a chance to get into the story hour.
"When the overflow group of families who couldn’t get into the library for lack of space started their own worship service — think beautiful voices of children and strong declarations from moms and dads, hands raised, singing sacred songs of thankfulness and praises to God — filling the lobby, the staircase and expanding into the upper room [of the library], I got emotional and began to cry,” Cameron told the Washington Examiner in a statement, calling them “tears of gratitude and hope. Songs of courage and resolve.”
“God’s not finished with America,” Cameron added.
Brave Books said that thanks to a last-minute cancellation by another group, the library staff was able to expand the meeting space and “host three story hours and not have to turn anyone away.”
“What was most notable was how wonderfully Cherry Hill Public Library served their community and how thankful in return, event patrons were that the library allowed Kirk to have the story hour and get everyone in,” Brave Books noted.
Feucht said he agreed with the sense of renewed hope.

“I leave the New Jersey public library full of hope and expectation that if parents are standing up here in the Northeast, then parents are going to stand up anywhere all across America,” the musician said. “It’s time to take this nation back for God, one library at a time.”
Cameron’s next story time stop is set for May 10 in San Francisco, California.
