Baptism - A guide for the dry

You've been invited to a baptism... But what's it all about? In this helpful little booklet, Rich Baxter uses one question and two pictures to help you get right to the heart of what your friend’s baptism is all about, and how it all relates to Jesus and his gospel. It covers:

So you've been invited to a baptism
The first picture dying and rising again
The second picture being washed
What next? The road ahead

Rich Baxter is Pastor for Outreach at Carey Baptist Church in Reading. He is married to Dorcas and has three lovely children. He and Dorcas love finding out new facts about dinosaurs, Lego and unicorns from their three young children. Rich loves to point others to Christ, and encourage and equip believers to do this— and is amazed that a church pays him to do so!

Rich Baxter has filled an important gap by writing this short, 16-page booklet specifically written for guests at baptism services. Rich takes the two biblical images of dying/rising and being washed, and shows how they help us understand the meaning of baptism, and what it means to become a Christian. There are then some suggestions for learning more, and an opportunity to respond in prayer.The whole booklet is clear, engaging and accessible, and would be suitable to give out en masse to a mix of guests. And the font size is suitable for people with a mix of eyesights - an often overlooked factor in Christian giveaway resources! Adam Thomas
