Overview

""" And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: and there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased - Mark 1:9-11Beautifully illustrated for children, ""The Baptism of Jesus, a story from the Jordan River"" tells the story of the inspiring meeting between Jesus and his precursor, John the Baptist. The ancient Jordan River and the contemporary baptismal site ""Yardenit on the River"" perform a leading role as well. Yardenit provides the place for pilgrims to experience the presence of the Lord and renewal of their faith through Baptism in the Jordan River. The venue hosts over half a million visitors yearly, coming from the four corners of the earth. Most of them make a rededication of immersion; Some are baptized for the first time. For all, it represents the fulfillment of a dream: to immerse in the holy waters of the Jordan River, the very same waters in which John baptized Jesus. In addition to the remarkable illustrations of the historical events, in the book you will find photos of the baptismal pools and of the ""wall of New Life"" that encircles ""Yardenit"", bearing the verses of Mark in more than 100 languages and dialects. The author, Jim Reimann, was an ordained minister, Bible teacher, an editor and author. In his lifetime he led more than 25 pilgrimages to the Holy land."
