This innovative volume leads older children (ages 8–12) through baptismal preparation and a basic orientation to Christian discipleship and membership in the local church. Rather than presenting a dry, textbook approach, Pastor Wallace Smith integrates:

  • contemporary narrative
  • biblical lessons
  • student-friendly talking points
  • online components
  • varied homework assignments

The author identifies key aspects of the Christian life with familiar road signs and compares the discipleship journey with a road under construction.

Topics include:

  • Images of God
  • Conversations about Jesus
  • Making your faith your own
  • Soul freedom
  • Discipleship
  • Bible freedom
  • The church
  • Believer’s baptism
  • Practicing and living faith

Designed as a six-week/six-chapter course, Baptism Ahead will appeal to different learning styles as well as different church and family settings.

Note: This new resource is intended to replace the book Bridges of Promise.

Editorial Reviews:

"Baptism Ahead is the type of curriculum most needed in Baptist churches today. At a time when understandings of faith, scripture, and discipleship are at an all-time low among churched youth, Smith has developed an appropriate remedy. Baptism Ahead introduces and thoroughly investigates key pieces of Christian discipleship in an easy-to-understand framework." —Kristopher Norris, Congregational Formation, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship

"With solid writing and searching questions, this book offers a strong introduction to Christian faith and community." —YouthWorker Journal, May/June 2010
