Book Description
Excerpt from A Heritage of Hope: A History of First Baptist Church, Wilmington, North Carolina, 1808-2008 Heritage and Hope is more than just a campaign slogan. Like the early Hebrew people who drew strength from the reminder that the God they worshipped and depended upon for life was the same One who was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, this newest generation of Wilmingtonians who call First Baptist Church their spiritual home tell stories, myths and legends of matriarchs and patriarchs who made decisions and sacrifices that shaped the church into what it is today. Important questions that must be asked are, Are the stories true? Are all the facts of the stories told? What are the stories that are not told? Why aren't some stories told?

Book Description
Excerpt from History: First Baptist Church, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, 1786-1961 A book of history is like a telescope through which one may look into the past ages. See the customs, achievements, shortcomings of those who lived before him. Antiquity comes alive to his clouded memo ries, and he is able to comprehend the truth or falsity of the many tales and traditions which he has heard. Moreover, he may profit by the fortunes or misfortunes of his forebears. There is a well worn tradition that our Church minutes up to 1857 were lost in a fire, which is probably true, but there are no refer ences in the immediately succeeding minutes to prove it, much less to give any details which we would ordinarily expect. There may havebeen a fire in 1846 or 1847. We do not know what became of the Meet ing House which was replaced with a new one, the construction of which began in the early part of 1847. It is possible this old Meeting House was burned as was the first one on Knobs Creek, and the records up to that time burned in it. But if that be the case the question arises: Where are the minutes of the next ten years? Another possibility is that they could have been burned in a fire which destroyed a parsonage in the early part of 1886. Could the minute books have been divided, with those up to 1857 in the parsonage and burned, and those after 1857 somewhere else and saved? The most likely fire to have destroyed them was one mentioned in the February 25, 1860 minutes but there are some questions about this fire which will have to go unanswered. In that con ference it is stated No minutes were read as a consequence of their having been burnt up in the recent fire. Where was the fire in the Church, parsonage, Clerk's home? When? What else belonging to the Church was lost? Something else is strange about this conference: The two previous leaves in that minute book and the bottom sections of three leaves previous to them have, some time, been cut out of the book with no explanation of why it was done. We presume this fire to have oc curred the month or quarter preceding that February 25 conference, depending upon whether it was a monthly or quarterly conference; and it was those minutes that were not read. If in fact however, this was the fire which tradition tells us destroyed our minutes up to 1857, the logical assumption is that those minutes were in a book or books at the scene of the fire while the minutes beginning with March 27, 1857, the earliest we have, to February 25, 1860 were in another book being kept somewhere else at the time. It is a fact that our March 27, 1857 minutes do begin a new book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from First Baptist Church, Wilmington and Morgan Streets, Raleigh, North Carolina, 1812-1962 Diagonally across Capitol Square, at the southwest corner of the intersection of Salisbury with Hillsboro Streets, stands her counterpart, the other half of the organized church of 1812 whose celebration likewise is now in progress. Behold a spectacle, the like of which, no doubt, no other community in our national life can boast: Two sentinels and guardians of Christian democracy standing watch over the welfare of our state, bi-racial in origin, continuous in good will and brotherly kindness in separation, climactic in the observance of its nativity. This is the day of great rejoicing and praise to Him who has brought us thus far on our way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Beyond the Stained Glass: A Living History of First Baptist Church, Shelby, North Carolina; 160 Years on Mission Together, 1847-2007 Any project of this magnitude requires many people to complete it. The desire to write First Baptist Church history from 196942007 was greater than our knowledge of how to accomplish it. With many minds working together we have seen our goal accomplished. First, our gratitude goes to Charles Deweese, former executive director of Baptist History and Heritage Society in Brentwood, Tennessee, who came at our request to inform us of what is involved in writing and publishing a history. Even though we realized what was involved in time, money, and writing ability, the Ad Hoc History Writing committee along with the Historian and the Heritage Team decided to proceed. The work began to take shape when J. A. West, retired attorney, newspaper columnist, and member of First Baptist Church, agreed to be the writer. Becky Hamrick and Polly Causby, retired English teachers, agreed to edit and proofread. J. A. Did a mammoth job working long hours to bring life to cold facts. The committee had been advised that a writer for a work of this magnitude would cost thousands of dollars. But J. A. Offered to do the task pro hono. His wife Evelyn gave up her sun porch for his office. For weeks she stepped over stacks of paper that were not to be touched. For her help and patience goes a big thank you.
