Catalyst: "Godparenting: Nurturing the Next Generation" from Church Publishing, Inc., by Nancy Ann McLaughlin and Tracey E. Herzer, 145 pages, hardcover, $20
[Source: Church Publishing, Inc.] Being a godparent is a great honor and a sacred responsibility. Baptism, after all, is at the center of Christian life, and godparents play a critical role in celebrating this sacrament. When you accept the invitation to sponsor a little one, what exactly are you promising to do? Godparenting: Nurturing the Next Generation explores the history and theology of godparenting and offers plenty of helpful tips on how to be the best godparent ever. A lovely keepsake gift for godparents and a handy guide to use for years to come.
