The imagery in the book is beautiful and inspiring, and helps the reader explore what it means to be a baptized Christian. The book explores different aspects of baptism, using nine metaphors that derive from both traditional and contemporary sources. The first three - river, bath, and birth - relate to the significance of water to baptism. The next three - gift, power, and seal - address how the Holy Spirit is active and perceived in baptism. And the final three - body, covenant, and web - explore baptism in the context of full initiaion into Christ's Body, the church. Throughout the book, Micks blends biblical references with real-life stories and quotes from modern literature. The book is easy to read and captivating; it challenges readers to act on their faith. From a small group perspective, the book is exceptionally well-designed, as it includes an appendix of challenging questions for discussion. Also, the many references to Bible passages makes it easy to blend reading and discussing the book with Bible study.
