Description

This innovative volume leads older children (ages 8-12) through baptismal preparation and a basic orientation to Christian discipleship and membership in the local church. Rather than presenting a dry, textbook approach, Pastor Wallace Smith integrates:

[€[ contemporary narrative

[€[ biblical lessons

[€[ student-friendly talking points

[€[ online components

[€[ varied homework assignments

The author identifies key aspects of the Christian life with familiar road signs and compares the discipleship journey with a road under construction.

Topics include:

[€[ Images of God

[€[ Conversations about Jesus

[€[ Making your faith your own

[€[ Soul freedom

[€[ Discipleship

[€[ Bible freedom

[€[ The church

[€[ Believer's baptism

[€[ Practicing and living faith

Designed as a seven-week/seven-chapter course, Baptism Ahead will appeal to different learning styles as well as different church and family settings.
