"As a former "Growing Pains" viewer, and current admirer of the ministry of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, I was excited to get a copy of this autobiography. It was fascinating to catch a glimpse into the life and family of one of Hollywood's young stars. But it was even more fascinating to read of Kirk's conversion to Christianity, and to see the amazing things God has done in and through his life since he became a Christian."
"I watched the movie "Fireproof" starring Kirk Cameron and was impressed that he wouldn't kiss his actress-wife in the movie. It had to be his real wife. I wanted to find out more about him and how he came to be a Christian growing up in Hollywood, a sect of America that basically shuns Christianity. One scriptwriter actually told him, "Well, Kirk . . . for an actor in Hollywood, you sure picked the one unacceptable religion, didn't you?"
It's not a well written book, but I enjoyed learning what it's like growing up as a child star. I was impressed with his morals and courage to stand up to an industry at such a young age. He knows as an actor, a well-known actor, he has tremendous power and has chosen to use that for good. It's just refreshing to see someone come out Hollywood unscathed.
As a plug for "Fireproof" it's a movie aimed at saving marriages. Again, the acting isn't suburb but the message is great."
"This book has a bit of choppy style, which actually reassures me these are Kirk's own words. I enjoyed reading about his upbringing, his conversion to Christ, his career and family. His convictions are even stronger than I thought they would be, and they have pretty much ostracized him from Hollywood. So glad he has been able to use his skills in movies such as "Left Behind" and more recently, "Fireproof"."
"I liked reading Still Growing by Kirk Cameron because I liked him on the sit com, "Growing Pains," and also know he is a Christian. I was curious to find out more about his personal life. I was surprised to find out he had an atheist belief through is teens until he became a believer at age 19. In his autobiography he shares how he got into acting, how he was used to having anything he wanted, how he began to ask the questions about life, how his beliefs changed and how they affected his career and decisions.
I found it interesting that he is one of few actors who has only been married once to an actress and has six children and has been married 17 years as of when the book was written. It was so refreshing to read about his love for his wife and family. Another thing that I found very interesting was the fact that after he
married, he vowed he would not kiss any other woman, even if acting. This has been something I've wondered about myself, how actors and actresses who are married can take those parts where they kiss in the shows. Kirk shared that when he agreed to do a movie produced by the creators of "Facing the Giants" that these producers respected this and for the big kiss at the end, let Kirk's real wife step in and did a silhouette shot.
An Appendix is included as well sharing some about his religious beliefs and books he highly recommends to the reader. I liked Kirk Cameron before reading his autobiography and after reading it, I even have more respect for him. His"
