This tired and tested resource has helped many people to explore the Anglican faith, encouraged participants to decide whether they wish to be confirmed and help them smoothly engage with church life and continue their journey into a real and genuine faith.

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.
