The Privilege of Parenting: A Biblical Explanation of the Form for the Baptism of Infants

Book Description:

Who are the children we habitually tuck into bed, drive to their hockey games, assist with their homework and take along on holidays? In the midst of life's busyness, is raising the next generation simply another of life's many demands competing for our time and energy and resources?

This publication follows the historic Form for the Baptism of infants to explore Scripture's answer to questions about children's identity. 
The author draws out that God Himself has formed a bond of love with the children He has entrusted to believing parents, and so these parents receive a most privileged function in God's kingdom - training the next generation of little ones to know their Father in heaven. He concludes that the greatest contribution godly men and women can make to the kingdom of God and the nation to which they belong is to impress on their children the glorious identity with which God has marked them, and train them to live in a fashion consistent with their royal distinctiveness.

The privilege of parenting: there's none like it.
