"Finally, a book
that unlocks the power of confirmation in a practical, life-transforming way!
In an era when confirmation is not well-understood by many Catholics,
"Called to Knighthood..." is an excellent resource for parents, priests and catechists who
want to make this sacrament come powerfully alive for young people and
adults preparing to be confrimed..."
Edward Sri, STD Provost & Professor of Scripture
&Theology
The Catholic Church tells us Confirmation is the sacrament that empowers us
"to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses" (CCC 1303)
which is why every Christian's job description is to be nothing less than a
soldier of Christ.Tom Sullivan writes like a drill instructor preparing recruits
to fght and win the battles of everyday life, and to engage in the spiritual
warfare that makes us saints. Here is an inspiring summary of 2000 years of
basic training from Scripture, the early Fathers, and the Church's official
teaching.
Scott Hahn Professor of Scripture and Theology
Franciscan University of
Steubenville
The key to holiness is learning how to harness the power of Gods grace which
is available when we seek it. Tom Sullivan has done each of us a great service
with "Called to Knighthood: The Sacrament of Confirmation in the Kingdom Family
of God". The Sacrament of Confirmation is always important, but never more so
than when the vibrancy and power of Christianity seems to dim in a culture. The
grace of Confirmation and a proper understanding of its power will unleash the
capacity for spiritual awakening in our world.
