Baptism and Beyond is a sacramental preparation resource for Catholic parishes. The Leader Guide contains everything a catechist needs to lead two parent sessions. The first session prepares parents for the celebration of baptism by breaking open the symbols and scriptures of the rite. The second session looks back on baptism and forward to first eucharist, with helps for parents to be the child's primary religious educators during the years in between. This book includes creative ways to link the church with the home to keep parents and their child connected to the parish between sacraments, not just for sacraments. You can use the Parent Guide to reinforce the material in the two parish sessions.

The issue of baptism has troubled Protestants for centuries. Should infants be baptized before their faith is conscious, or does God command the baptism of babies whose parents have been baptized? Popular New Testament scholar Scot McKnight makes a biblical case for infant baptism, exploring its history, meaning, and practice and showing that infant baptism is the most historic Christian way of forming children into the faith. He explains that the church's practice of infant baptism developed straight from the Bible and argues that it must begin with the family and then extend to the church. Baptism is not just an individual profession of faith: it takes a family and a church community to nurture a child into faith over time. McKnight explains infant baptism for readers coming from a tradition that baptizes adults only, and he counters criticisms that fail to consider the role of families in the formation of faith. The book includes a foreword by Todd Hunter and an afterword by Gerald McDermott.

What does the sacrament of baptism mean in your child's life - and yours? In Taking the Plunge, parents explore how the Baptismal Covenant helps to shape the experience of raising children. What are you promising when you baptize your child? Why are "please" and "thank you" theological words, not simply polite things to say? Anne Kitch writes with a light touch and includes plenty of real-life stories.
