Your Child's Baptism Revised Edition by Paul Turner

Fr. Paul Turner, known for his friendly style and authoritative content, helps parents understand what they need to know about their child's Baptism. He invites them into the mystery of this first sacrament in the life of a Christian, explaining its theology, symbolism, and the ritual itself. He provides pastoral answers to many technical questions parents might have about such matters as when and where Baptism should take place, arrangements when a parent is not Catholic, and the requirements for godparents. He especially encourages parents to take the long view and understand their unique role in raising a disciple of Christ.

Baptism is not just an event that happened in the past, but is the identity we are immersed in as followers of Jesus. This volume helps disciples reflect on this identity in ways that take seriously some of the central questions of contemporary life, as well as themes from our spiritual traditions. Explore three New Testament passages to contemplate what it means to be alive in God's love, alive in Christian community, and alive in Christ's death and resurrection.

Most children are baptized as infants. This beautifully illustrated book will endure for years after that special day, helping children to realize that at their baptism, they became a child of God and a member of his family, the Church.

Each part of the rite is linked to a scene from Scripture, such as the story of Noah's Ark and Jesus' own baptism in the Jordan. Pages for photos and other memories make this a thoughtful gift for any child who is being baptized a gift they will enjoy as they begin to understand the special friendship they have with Jesus.
Includes prayers as well as illustrations of the objects used in the Rite of Baptism, such as the baptismal font and the Easter candle.
