Confirmation is a significant rite of passage in many a person's religious life, the sacrament in which the young Christian makes a public confession and affirmation of faith in the presence of their faith community. What shapes those beliefs? How do subsequent life experiences, exposure to other beliefs, and more nuanced interpretations of Scripture lead many to reexamine their faith beliefs? In A Confirmation of Faith, the author takes a hard look at his own faith, examining subjects such as the nature of God, the purpose of prayer, the meaning of the sacraments, and life after death. These interesting reflections and stories are shared in the hope that they will strike a responsive chord and inspire examination and confirmation of the reader's own faith experience.

Reviews for A Confirmation of Faith

"""Stephen Isaacson tells the story of an 'unexpected calling' by reflecting on the language of the Catechism in the Book of Common Prayer. His essays and stories provide glimpses of God's Spirit at work in ordinary and extraordinary ways."" --Nathan LeRud, dean, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, Portland ""Who thought that preparing for the ancient rite of Confirmation could be a dazzling inward and outward adventure? Steve Isaacson thought so! In a series of essays that loosely follow the interrogatory format of a traditional Catechism, Isaacson describes a faith journey both personal and profoundly rooted in Christian wisdom. It's a fireside chat for the soul."" --Julia McCray-Goldsmith, dean, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, San Jose"
