I've received several requests for a more detailed resource list for Confirmation preparation. This is a resource list for the Confirmation notebook. Please bear in mind that this is a two-year project. Some of the books have more mature content than others but are wholly appropriate for young adults on the verge of Confirmation. I begin with the less intense books and move to the others. The success of this preparation rests solely on lots of discussion. When to begin preparation is really a matter of the parents' discretion. Some children will not be ready for this kind of study before they are well into the teen years. Others will begin to ask questions and initiate discussions that indicate their readiness at twelve or thirteen.
