Christian Formation – Curriculum for Youth                     

New: My Faith, My Life – Jenifer Gamber, Morehouse Publishing, Harrisburg PA, 2006

This is an excellent introduction to the Episcopal Church for teens. The information is fairly straightforward on Baptism and Confirmation, Bible, History, Faith, Worship, Sacraments, Spirituality, and the organization of the Episcopal/Anglican Church, but it is presented in a way accessible to youth and there is a website for follow-up on any given topic. It is a good book to use with a youth group, a Confirmation group, or as background information for leaders.
