Written for the candidates in junior high and high school (or older), this YOUCAT Confirmation book provides in-depth preparation for receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. Designed in the same popular format as the best-selling YOUCAT, this book has interesting, lively text on many spiritual topics and themes to help the student be well prepared to receive the Sacrament. It also includes many good questions throughout the book that youth ask about the faith, God, Jesus, the Church, etc., and the answers are cross referenced with either the Bible or with YOUCAT. Among the topics covered are: Why the World is Broken, Jesus-More than a Mere Man, In Search of the Holy Spirit, Prayer-Staying in Touch with God, The Church, Eucharist, Confession, the Rite of Confirmation, and more. Like Youcat, the creative design includes many fun illustrations, color pictures, quotes from saints, popes and scripture, and the favorite Òmoving stick figuresÓ at the bottom of each page. Ê

What are we doing when we confirm teenagers? Why is the religious education of teenagers so perplexing? Why is confirmation often a moment of "graduation" out of parish life? Confirmation: How a Sacrament of God's Grace Became All about Ustells the story of how confirmation, more than any other sacrament, has interacted with secular culture to give rise to these kinds of pastoral challenges. At the same time, confirmation has, over the course of the twentieth century, become a sacramental stamp of approval for various Catholic renewal movements. The cultural shifts of the last century have led to various theological themes for confirmation, creating a crisis of meaning today. Is confirmation a personal choice for faith, or is it the deepening of an ongoing relationship with the Divine? Timothy Gabrielli gives us a fresh approach for addressing these pressing questions.

Affirming Faith: A Congregations' Guide to Confirmation, Revised & Updated is a confirmation resource for use by United Church of Christ congregations. Focusing on the UNited Church of Christ Statement of Faith, it relates to Affirming Faith: A Confirmand's Journal, Revised & Updated. Designed for those planning, leading, and participating in a local church's program of faith formation for youth ages twelve to sixteen, the guide includes session and retreat designs with detailed instructions for leading ninety-minute experiences, as well as suggestions for additional activities. A unique feature, "Connecting with the Congregation", offers ways in which the confirmands can be involved more fully in the life of the congregation as they go through the faith-forming process. The Bible is an integral part of the Affirming Faith guide. Particular passages of scripture have been selected for each session, but the emphasis is on encounter with scripture rather than knowledge about scripture. The goal of this resource is life transformed through continuing exposure to the Word of God. (Back cover).

Send Out Your Spirit leads teens through the major tenets of their faith—the Trinity, Jesus, scripture, Church, sacraments, morality, and more—specifically structured for the context of preparing for confirmation. This program is rooted in the idea that high school-aged candidates want the necessary information on the Catholic faith in hand as they commit personally to the promises of faith originally made for them at baptism and reaffirmed in confirmation. The confirmation Candidate's Handbook was found in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
