4.0 out of 5 stars Adorable illustrations, November 12, 2009

This review is from: My Baptism Book (Hardcover)

This book makes a wonderful gift and keepsake for a baby's or young child's baptism. The first page contains a place to write in the name of the recipient, baptism date, godparents, etc...The book's biggest strength is its adorable and colorful illustrations on every page. The book contains many short Bible stories, poems, and prayers perfect for the young listener. The content is Biblically sound without being charismatic. The format is perfect for "picking and choosing" a story/prayer or several and does not need to be read straight through. My one disappoint is that there is very little actual baptism content, just a couple of pages. I was hoping for a more complete description to help my godson understand the significance of his baptism as he grows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Baptism Gift, December 6, 2008

By

This review is from: My Baptism Book (Hardcover)

Great gift for a baptism. I LOVED the illustrations - they were my favorite thing about the book. I bought it as a gift about a year ago, but if I remember correctly, the book is a lot smaller than I thought it would be - I never even looked at the dimensions! Despite this, I would still recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Blankies and Jewelry!, February 15, 2011

By 

Jon M. Sweeney (Vermont, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Baptism Book (Hardcover)

I love this little book. I think it is the ideal gift for the family of a child to be baptized. Better than blankies or jewelry or whatever else the gift catalogs offer, this book offers simple but profound teachings (and illustrations that preschool-age kids can relate to) that explain to children (once they can be read to, at about age 2) what their Baptism was all about, and that they are children of God. Beautiful.
