The book was com piled and written by a committee of six women from the church; Annie W. Ingram;Jane G. Tutterow, Marsha G. Alexander, Amber B. Boger, Pamela R. Bracken, and Creola G. Rogers. The book was started in 1997, the church's centennial year anniversary. "There is some discrepency about the centennial year • 1896 or 1897," said Creola Rogers. The book was initially written about the history about the church. But as the project went on the com mittee incorporated stories about the people and their memories about Ijames Baptist Church. Present and former members each made contributions to the book. The church currently has 296 members on their role. Church member Mike Branham gave the winning entry for naming the book. "We don't know of any other church in Davie County that has done this," said committee member Annie Ingram. There were 500 copies printed and each sells for $25 each. "We're not making a profit. This is not a fundraiser," said Rogers. A copy of the book was dedicated to the church on August 13. Janie Neely.
