Guest, Join Papa Zoom today for some uplifting biblical encouragement! --> Daily Verses
Library Books
- Thread starter JM
- Start date
I have enough books and tapes and videos to fill a church library! Mostly books and audio tapes.
It would be interesting to take an inventory and see exactly how much I've accumulated throughout the years.
What exactly are you looking for in terms of the following:
Adult ,Teen, childrens books?
How is it going to be organized?
Books, audio tapes, movies?
Strictly Baptist material?
IF so, what sect of Baptist?
Conservative or liberal?
Makes a huge difference.
There is a Baptist church in my neighborhood that is great, but they don't go outside of their "sect" and they are considered conservative as compared to other churches of the same denomnination.
Do you want strictly Baptist resources?
Calvanistic resources?
Liberal resources?
Modern day resources. (some conservative churches don't allow "modern day" resources.
There are many publishing companies that can provide a list of reading matierials that would be apporpo to your denomination.
Zondervan Publishing House
David C. Cook Publishing Co.
The options of publishers from which to choose are endless also.
How big is this church?
Are you starting a new church or is an already established church just building a library?
Need more details :angel:

The first one that comes to mind is: Behind the Glittering Mask
More details....
Well, it's a fundamental Baptist Church and with a mix of Calvinists...very conservative and looking to start by building our collection with conservative Baptist books and general Christian fiction. Our church is filled with people between 20-35, our teen/youth group is just starting to gain members. It was just 3 years ago the church had 24 members, it now has over 50 with attendence of 115 on Sunday mornings.
