"Finally, a book that unlocks the power of confirmation in a practical,
life-transforming way! In an era when confirmation is not well-understood by
many Catholics, "Called to Knighthood: The Sacrament of Confirmation in the
Kingdom Family of God" is an excellent resource for parents, priests and
catechists who want to make this sacrament come powerfully alive for young
people and adults preparing to be confirmed."
-- Edward Sri,
S.T.D.
Provost & Professor of Scripture and Theology
"The Catholic Church tells us Confirmation is the sacrament that empowers
us "to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses" (CCC
1303), which is why every christian's job description is to be nothing less than
a soldier of Christ. Tom Sullivan writes like a drill instructor preparing
recruits to fight and win the battles of everyday life, and to engage in the
spiritual warfare that makes us saints. Here is an inspiring summary of 2000
years of basic training from Scripture, the early Fathers, and the Church's
official teaching. "

"All seven sacraments are manifold treasures of grace. Unfortunately, the
sacrament of Confirmation is widely misunderstood, under-appreciated, and often
passed off as a simple rite of passage. Yet this sacrament has enormous
potential for every Catholic, especially for our youth. Called to Knighthood
shows how confirmation provides the spiritual strengthening necessary for every
Catholic. In the second part of his book, Tom Sullivan shares some penetrating
suggestions regarding the age of Confirmation. I encourage every priest and
parent to read Sullivan’s comments with the upmost care. We are facing a
severe and widespread crisis among our Catholic youth. Sullivan’s concluding
thoughts outline a wise and winning sacramental strategy that has the potential
for launching a new era for our young people."

"The key to holiness is learning how to harness the power of Gods grace
which is available when we seek it. Tom Sullivan has done each of us a great
service with "Called to Knighthood: The Sacrament of Confirmation in the Kingdom
Family of God". The Sacrament of Confirmation is always important, but never
more so than when the vibrancy and power of Christianity seems to dim in a
culture. The grace of Confirmation and a proper understanding of its power will
unleash the capacity for spiritual awakening in our
world."
