The Mystery of Grace in the Baptism of Our Children (Stapled Booklet)

by Bart Garrett

Overview

For 2000 years, most Christians have participated in the ritual of baptism. Yet for many people today, whether they are Christian or otherwise, baptism remains a mystery. What does it mean? Why do many Christians baptize their young children while others do not? Why do some fully immerse in water while others simply sprinkle it upon the head? Most importantly, how does the act of baptism lavish the grace of God upon us, and how is its symbol significant for those who walk the way of Jesus? Consider this work to be an exploration of these questions.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

What a wonderful booklet! Bart Garrett has given us a work on infant baptism that is clear, helpful and Biblical. It is also irenic . . . something that isn't always present in discussions about the subject of Baptism. If you've ever had a question about baptizing infants, this is a must read. If you agree with the position, it will affirm the Biblical basis of your belief and, if you don't, it will give you an appreciation for a different view. Read it. You'll be glad you did.

-Steve Brown, Author, radio personality, the teacher on Key Life, and professor at Reformed Theological Seminary—Orlando.



Whether skeptical of infant baptism or merely uncertain as to its benefit to you and your child, read what Bart has written. It's short and comprehensive at the same time. There's too much at stake not to take the time to read this outstanding work.

-Randy Pope, Pastor of Perimeter Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Author of "The Intentional Church"
