Are you looking for a book that fully explains baptism in accessible language? This book delivers. Are you looking for a book that discusses the symbolism of baptism in ways that relate to everyday life? This book is for you. Are you looking for a book that matches text with illustrations so that everyone can find themselves included in and central to the story? Look no further...My experience working with diverse congregations has put me on the hunt to fill our libraries and ministries with books that represent the beautiful variety of God's people. When I started working in children's ministries two decades ago, I would see children light up when they could see themselves in illustrations and text. Now, it is glaringly obvious when God's children are not fully represented. Both author and illustrator of Baptized in the Water teamed to provide us with a book that includes a beautiful representation of the fullness and variety of God's people. This cohesiveness is important in all topics, but especially baptism. * Practical Resources for Churches, April 2022 *
