Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Baptism is not simply a day to remember. It is a promise to live in every day.Remembering Baptism: Growing in Faith helps Christian families establish a simple and meaningful tradition: each year on the anniversary of a child's Baptism, light the Baptism candle, gather together, and remember what God has given through water and His Word.This book contains 13 annual family devotions, beginning with a child's first Baptism anniversary and growing with the child toward Confirmation.The early devotions give parents simple words for teaching a young child, "You belong to Jesus." As the child grows, the devotions explore forgiveness, prayer, God's Word, Christian living, the Church, the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Supper, Christian identity, and finally the young Christian's confession of faith at Confirmation.Each year's devotion includes Scripture, a brief family devotion, a discussion question, a prayer, an illustrated remembrance page, and a simple truth to remember. The format is designed to grow with the child, gradually moving from parents speaking the faith to their little one toward the young Christian personally confessing that faith.By Year 13, the child is reminded that Confirmation does not replace, improve, or complete Baptism. Rather, Confirmation publicly confesses the faith into which the child was baptized and points the young Christian back to Christ and His gifts in Word and Sacrament.Rooted in Scripture and the historic Lutheran understanding of Holy Baptism, Remembering Baptism: Growing in Faith is designed for parents, grandparents, godparents, pastors, and congregations who want to help children remember throughout their lives: I am baptized into Christ. I belong to Him.The Baptism candle may be lit once a year, but the baptized life is lived every day.
