Becoming a godparent to a new baby is an honor as that person is chosen to play a special role in the life of a child starting at their baptism. While baptism is the beginning and most significant church event for a godparent and godchild, their relationship will continue to grow, and a godparent can play a key role in developing a child's faith.

Being a Godparent will help a new godparent understand their roles and duties as a Christian role model. Being a Godparentstarts with the traditions of the baptism and the importance of a godparent in the ceremony. The book takes the godparent on a step-by-step guide to the baptism and includes the Profession of Faith and Renunciation of Sin. After discussing baptism, the book talks about being a godparent after baptism. It dutifully gives suggestions and ideas on how to nuture and foster a healthy relationship with their godchild as they grow up into their teens.
