Richard Jespersen is a graduate of Luther-Northwestern Theological Seminary in St. Paul, MN in 1978. As a Lutheran Christian and pastor, he has served Christ in ministry for over 45 years. He is semi-retired now, but still serves a small congregation in northcentral and very rural Montana. From both his hands on experiences and study, he has written a simple and clear, yet profound explanation of Christian baptism. It is a perfect gift for those preparing for baptism, those who have just been baptized, or those who simply want to understand the substance of this sacrament.
