Taking the Plunge: Baptism and Parenting

You've chosen the godparents, dressed the baby in yards of white, and headed to church for the christening.  Now what?  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.
