A small seed planted years ago by Mrs. Mildred Maxey and a few friends, has blossomed into one of the finest collections of study and entertainment for members of the First Baptist Church of Mt. Sterling......The Milded Maxey Media Center.
Over 2500 books available, ranging from serious theological study material to the latest "faith based" Christian novels. Gospel audio on CD, family movies on DVD, and over 100 VHS family and childrens movies. What a wonderful flower Mrs. Maxey's small seed had grown to become.
Available to all members at no charge, no limit, nor time allotments, therefore no late fees! What a deal! Stop in and allow us to show you what is available, and possibly suggest material for your specific likes or needs.
Here is a small "book review" on one of the latest additions to our Media Center....(recommended reading)
"I Became A Christian.....................
and all I got was THIS LOUSY T- SHIRT!"
by Vince Antonucci
While browsing the "new arrivals", at the local book store, this title caught my eye. Imagine that!!! If marketing by title alone were given a Nobel Prize, this one was the winner of the century. Gotta' read this!!!
In this case, "curiousity did NOT kill the cat", though I bought and read this because of the uniqueness of the title ONLY. Never heard of the author either. BUT>>>>got a winner!
A "pleasantly different" style of writing that allows you to belly laugh on one page, have deep theological meditation on the next, and tears on the next. Part comedian, part theologan, (mostly pastor) Mr. Antonucci presents life (his and ours), as it really is and what Jesus intended it to be. Huge difference in some cases, wouldn't you agree?
A short read, but very good read. Lots to think about in this oddly titled little jewel, and a recommended book. Controversial in some areas, especially for those of conservative thought, but gives room for just that.....thought!
