We all have key events in our lives that mark a transition from one stage of life to the next. For example, you might remember your first day at school, or, more clearly, when you first moved to secondary. When you were born there may have been some sort of party; in the UK there is a tradition of the father going to the pub to celebrate known as 'wetting the baby's head'. Religions have formal rituals and ceremonies to mark these transitional stages, called Rites of Passage. This title will explore some of the most significant of these Rites of Passage. Several are also celebrated as Sacraments by Christian churches. The main Rites featured in this title are baptism, confirmation, marriage, ordination and funerals.

Reviews

The content is very interesting and relevant and the way the chapters are split using music helps to keep concentration levels up. This method of learning and revising, i.e. by listening to audio books, has to be one of the most sensible methods of maximising the chances of obtaining excellent GCSE results. If the company is able to roll out more content with more subjects then it should be very well.
