YOUCAT Confirmation Book [Baer, Nils, Meuser, Bernhard] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. YOUCAT Confirmation Book Review: Lots if info but not intimidating - This is a concise little book that will make a great addition to the other materials I use for Confirmation prep. The lessons cover everything from does God really exist to confession and the what actually happens during the sacrament of confirmation. If you have seen any of the other YouCat books, the illustrations are the same with stick figures and not so many words on a page as to be intimidating to kids who may not be the best of readers. The situations that are used to explain faith concepts are interesting for the kids and most meet them where they are in their life. There are references to scripture in the margins and this is a great way to get kids familiar with the Bible and teach them how to find things in the Bible. This may sound as if the students in my class have never been catechized before, but once a week CCD even for eight years is not enough to make them comfortable with the Faith unless there is re-enforcement at home. This book is a great help to reach kids where they are. Review: Fantastic book! - This little book is a gem. I read it with my son as part of his Confirmation prep and I was extremely impressed with the content. Just like the YouCat, it presents the truths of the faith in a way that makes them accessible without watering them down. Unlike some other sacrament prep materials I have looked at, there isn't a sense of "dumbing down" concepts or talking down to students. I highly recommend it to anyone preparing for Confirmation, or to parishes looking for solid material to use as part of their sacrament prep programs.

As DRE I am very pleased with the YOUCAT Confirmation Student Book
As DRE I am very pleased with the YOUCAT Confirmation Student Book. It is very well put together and makes an easy transition to the Bible and the YOUCAT. Would highly recommend to any Confirmation program.

Resource for teens with questions about God and faith
Not a "course" for Confirmation, but can be used as a starting point to help with some common questions. Written in a fast, bullet point way, moving quickly through topics.

Five Stars
Remember this requires the Youcat, as it is a supplement. It refers you to the Youcat.

The YouCat Confirmation Book is a good book to supplement parish or school based catechetical programs. It talks about being a "course", but it is really just a book that goes over the central topics in preparing for confirmation. Content is for high school confirmandi, not those who receive the sacrament in Grade 3 (the book mentions smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol).

It seems to require a reference that is not named. That is, there are reference numbers that seem to refer to some text that further explains the numbered paragraph, but it doesn't ever mention a companion workbook or reference other than the bible and the numbers are not bible book and verse numbers. I bought it to review my confirmation some 55 years ago, and it is way more confusing than I recall.
