Written for candidates
in junior high and high school, 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 students be well-prepared to receive the Sacrament. It also includes many
questions that youth ask about the faith, God, Jesus, and the Church, as well
as the answers, 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 “moving stick figures” at the bottom of each page.
