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
