Teach children about the origins of the Sacrament of Baptism with this heartwarming story.

With engaging illustrations and beautiful writing, Through Living Waters: An Origin Story About Baptism invites little Catholics into a story about the origins and power of Baptism.

Rachel is afraid of water. To her, it’s deep, unpredictable—and dangerous. But when she witnesses a gentle man named Jesus being baptized in the Jordan River, something begins to change inside her. Could water be more than something to fear? Could it be something…good?

As the story goes on, Rachel gets to know Jesus, hears him speak of God’s love, and witnesses miracles that stir her soul. But when tragedy strikes and Jesus is crucified, Rachel’s heart is broken. Just when all hope seems lost, the Apostles arrive with news of Jesus’ Resurrection that changes everything.

When reading Through Living Waters, children will see the beauty of trusting in Jesus, and the great peace and courage that come from following him.

Help little ones understand the purpose and power of the sacrament of Baptism as they are immersed in the story of Jesus’ Baptism, and what this means for them today.
