The Soldier of Christ: Talks Before Confirmation

• Engaging book for teens and those preparing for Confirmation
• Mother Mary Loyola explains what it means to be a soldier for Christ
• Dialog, travelogue, story telling and powerful wisdom
• Basic training in spiritual warfare and the graces of the sacrament for young minds and hearts
• Powerful read for those preparing for Confirmation

Any book on the sacrament of Confirmation can explain what Confirmation is, but this is the only book that explains, in the most original and engaging manner, what Confirmation does.  It is both a dialogue and a travelogue, taking the reader on a journey from the Crusades to the Crimea; from medieval ceremonies of Knighthood to early modern methods of warfare.

What does it mean to be a Soldier of Christ?  For the true child of God, life is a daily battle against a well-concealed foe--that is, our own flaws and failings--and Mother Mary Loyola proposes to arm young recruits adequately for this task, leaving no stone unturned in her quest to root out this 'enemy at home'.  This is the sort of basic training no young Catholic should be without.
