Any book on the Sacrament of Confirmation can explain what Confirmation is, but The Soldier of Christ sets out to show, in the most original and engaging manner, what Confirmation does. It is both a dialogue and a travelogue, taking the reader on a journey from the Crusades to the Crimea, from medieval ceremonies of knighthood to the changing methods of modern warfare—all to illustrate what it truly means to become a Soldier of Christ.
For the child of God, Confirmation marks a call to active service. Life is a daily battle, and some of the most dangerous foes are those within our own camp—our flaws, failings, unruly passions, and bad habits. Mother Loyola proposes to arm her young recruits adequately for the fight, leaving no stone unturned in her quest to root out this “enemy at home.” This is the sort of basic training no young Catholic should be without.
