About the Book
In this book the author invites Christians to take a meditative journey with him through the sacraments which are observed and administered in the church. He looks at how the church is viewing and administering these sacraments, namely: Baptism; Confirmation; Holy Orders (Ordination); Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion); Anointing; Penance/Confession and Matrimony The book also looks at how Christians are expected to behave after receiving the sacraments. After Christians have received the sacraments, they are moving from one stage to another and the movement must be reflected in their daily lives. When people receive the sacraments, they are not passing- out but, they are passing-in. Passing-in in this book means getting into relationship with Christ and becoming totally committed to what the sacrament require. The book is an eye opener for those who receive and administer the sacraments.
