Product Description

Through the sacrament of baptism, God shows his love-the same love that claims us for his family, that sent Christ into the world to die for us; the same love that we show to one another.

Using simple, clear text from the French Reformed Church liturgy and paired with vibrant illustrations and straightforward explanations on every page, At Your Baptism provides the perfect way to show young children how baptism is a sign of God's love and promises.

At Your Baptism 4 5 1 1

A book for kids about baptism At Your Baptism, written by Carrie Steenwyk and John D. Witvliet, is an annotated text about the meaning of being baptized. It is written for children so they can understand what baptism is all about. The author explains what baptism is by using text like this: Ã¢ÂÂFor you he triumphed over death and rose in newness of life.Ã¢ÂÂ Then, she explains what that means by saying: Ã¢ÂÂBut death was not the end. Jesus came back to life. Now we can live each day with GodÃ¢ÂÂs power. When we die, we can live with God forever.Ã¢ÂÂ The illustrations by Linda Saport are colorful and go along with the text, but the people look odd. What I Like: I like the text because it is annotated. I havenÃ¢ÂÂt seen many annotated texts for children, but I like the idea. What I Dislike: However, I donÃ¢ÂÂt like the illustrations. The people are cartoon-like (which is okay), but they look odd, even for cartoon characters with their heads positioned at odd angles. Overall Rating: Good. Age Appeal: 4-8 August 2, 2011
