Product Description

This book has the colour illustration, textual simplicity and styling to appeal to very young children - from the time they are 2 to about 5. It includes simple prayers, of the sort that are useful to commit to memory and to say at bedtime, along with very simply expressed statements of Christian belief that are appropriate to the age range and add up to a starter credo (e.g. 'God loves me' illustrated by the parable of the lost sheep, not 'I believe in the communion of saints').

My Baptism Book
This is a charming and delightful book which is an ideal gift for any baby/small child on the occasion of their Baptism.

The book consists of a whole collection of prayers,(of the sort that are useful to commit to memory and to say at bedtime), psalms and Bible stories ranging from Genesis and finishing on the last line of Revelation 22 by saying - May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone.

This colourful little book has wonderful bright colour illustrations, textual simplicity and styling which will appeal not only to children but also to adults. It is scattered with very simply expressed statements of Christial belief which is appropriate for a child's mind, and stressess throughout, God's eternal love and care for them.

Pretty and personalised
I agree with other reviews on this product. You are able to personalise the book by writing:

Name of the receipient
Date of the baptism
Names of the godparents
The giver of the book

This makes the book a lasting momento of the day as well as explaining what a baptism is and what it will mean for the child as they grow within the religious community.
