context_page_description: The Memphis School of Preaching is a two-year collegiate institution devoted to the training of gospel preachers. It is overseen by the elders of the Forest Hill Church of Christ in Germantown, a suburb of Memphis, in the U.S. state of Tennessee.
context_section_description: Soon the need for a separate library was seen due to the numerous volumes and other materials and memorabilia accumulated for use by the school and its students.  A financial contribution by Joanne Bradshaw, granddaughter of N.B. Hardeman, helped the school to build the N.B. Hardeman Library.
  The central area of the first floor features a glass display case, featuring priceless memorabilia and pictures of brother Hardeman and his family, as well as paintings of his grandchildren.  The case also displays hand written sermon outlines by Hardeman, and pictures of his Tabernacle Sermons in Nashville.  Also on the first floor are reference books, various Bible translations, audio and video tapes, and back issues of church periodicals, including some publications dating back to the 1800s, such as the Gospel Advocate.
  The second floor of the library houses a variety of books, including text books on Christian Evidences and Bible Geography, lectureship books on various Biblical subjects dating back 50+ years.  Also on the second floor are work stations and computers that can be used as an electronic card catalog, or for the students to conduct research for papers and assignments.  The library also contains numerous videos of lectureships and debates from around the nation.
