'I have used this for five months now and have personally witnessed its profound effect on couples, especially as the question 'Have you ever thought of baptism like this before?' comes up.
This is really good material and really engages with people as it broadens out their faith
horizons!.'
Fr. David Osborne, Priest in Charge
