Publisher's Synopsis
A contemporary and lively guide to believer's baptism, or baptism by immersion. Candidates preparing for baptism, and ministers taking baptismal classes, have found this simple and attractive book to be invaluable. Being baptized is one of the most significant events in a Christian's life. In his practical, perceptive book, illustrated with gently humorous cartoons to press the point home, Stephen Gaukroger clearly puts the biblical case for believer's baptism. He advises on how to prepare for the Big Day itself: giving your testimony, choosing worship songs, and also the importance of being prepared for a `spiritual backlash' afterwards. He discusses in full the role of the Holy Spirit in baptism and how we can mature as disciples of Jesus. A warm, personal and inspiring hand-book.
