In Leading through the Water, Paul Galbreath demonstrates one way of
linking baptismal practice to daily life as congregations provide an
alternative witness to the cultural voices around us. At the same
time, it expands the vision of baptism from a single occasion to a
distinctive way of life within a community of faith and a primary
metaphor for Christian discipleship. In concert with Leading from the
Table, Galbreath continues to explore how the sacraments of baptism
and communion connect with the world around us. He is concerned that
we too often separate church life from daily life, marginalizing the
gospel and the good news that God is with us at all times and places
in our lives. Here Galbreath explores Christian discipleship through
baptism imagery in Scripture, history, and experience, and identifies
patterns of baptismal formation that guide the choices we make each
day. He follows the individual's journey through baptism, beginning
with inquiry, through the preparation for baptism, the event of
baptism itself, and a time of discernment following baptism. This book
will prompt conversations in congregations and classrooms about the
ways that our distinct communities of faith can embody the gospel in
the world and point to God's faithful presence.
