Synopsis

In our journey through life, we often face big questions: What is the meaning of life? Who is God? Why do people die and what happens after death? Throughout the ages, Christians have turned to the Bible and to the Church for answers.

Faith Confirmed is an introduction to Episcopal beliefs and practices and is a perfect primer for those preparing for confirmation in the Episcopal Church and for all those who want to know more about the essentials of the faith.

Each section of the book contacts:
- a clear and accessible explantion of what Episcopalians believe
- stories and illustrations to unpack these beliefs
- thought-provoking questions and a Bible study
- prayer and suggested prayer topics for the week
