How do we know God? Why is Jesus' death important? How do I pray? Do I have to go to church to be a Christian? In our journey through life we are often confronted with big questions. What is the purpose of life? Why do people have to die? What happens after death? Where do we look to find an answer to these questions? Christians through the years have turned towards the Bible and the Church for answers. 'Faith Confirmed' is an introduction to what Anglican Christians believe. It is written for people intending to be confirmed into the Anglican Church and for all those who want to know more about the essentials of the Christian belief. It helps people to learn about the key elements of Christian belief in an interesting and enjoyable way. Each section of the book contains a clear explanation of what Anglicans believe, illustrative stories that explore the meaning of those beliefs, questions encouraging the reader to think the issues through, Bible study and opportunities for prayer and reflection. The reader is encouraged to apply beliefs to everyday life.

"This excellent book is an introduction to what Anglican Christians believe and is written for those intending to be confirmed into one of the Anglican churches. Through being written in a clear and concise way and well illustrated with photographs and other pictures, the book is a delight to read."
Theological Book Review

by Mike Starkey

For those going forward for confirmation, Mike Starkey shows in these 24 undated Bible readings that confirmation is a significant milestone when we reaffirm the vows made at our baptism and show that we are ready to take our place as committed believers in the family of the Church. Includes a particular focus on the words and symbols used in the service and how these might be taken on board into daily life and discipleship.

Mike Starkey is vicar of Holy Trinity, Twickenham in west London and author of a number of books including What's Wrong (BRF, 2001) and God, Sex and Generation X (SPCK, 1997). Before entering full-time church ministry he was a radio journalist and newsreader.
